Reading time: 5 mins I feel it’s particularly important to make this guide because although it’s getting better, binge eating disorder often isn’t very well understood or recognised, even by our doctors. Going to see a GP about your bingeing can be a really vulnerable thing and I know the feeling of being dismissed by a doctor after opening up in this way. So, I want you to understand the realities of taking this route, whilst helping you to get into the best possible position to receive that support. Most of the information is based on our health service here in the UK, but I hope there are also parts that are relevant wherever you are in the world.
