Funding is available for people with Anorexia and Bulimia but not for people with Binge Eating Disorder. This is a recognised condition now but no support or funding is available for people with severe issues.
More details
Make funding and specialist support available for people with Binge Eating Disorder. This is a recognised condition now but no support or funding is available for people with severe issues. People with this condition live a private life of hell, full of self hatred, pain, and humiliation. The condition causes physical and emotional problems that could save the NHS a fortune if a specilised program was in place, as it is for those with other eating disorders. This is unacceptable.
