Testimonials

"If I never said thank you before, let me say it now. Even though it took you almost six weeks to get me to go for treatment, you never gave up on me, like I always gave up on myself. A special thanks to Jodi who never stopped believing in me. By the way, I have been in recovery for 7 months now, what a miracle."
Erin B, Minneapolis, Minnesota

"It's been 17 months, six days and four hours since I last purged, but who is counting. It turned out to be much harder to give up my eating disorder than the cocaine. You were right about going to an eating disorder treatment center that was just as skilled in drug addiction as bulimia. Life is Good!"
Brenda T., Chicago Illinois

"We wanted to thank you helping us find treatment for our daughter. She's like a different person. We are so grateful to all of your staff."
Nancy and Gary B. - Baltimore, Maryland

Sarah P. - Raleigh, North Carolina

"Donna, if there is ever anything you need from me just let me know. I am still in recovery, 2yrs., and if I didn't listen to you that day, I never would have made it. Thanks!!!!"
Barbara S. - Long Island, New York

"Bobbie at EatingDisorderClinic.org rocks! Just want you to know I took your advice and followed through with treatment. You were right, I needed to be there and yes, it changed my life."
Lisa R. - Union, New Jersey

Understanding Binge Eating Causes

The causes of binge eating, like many of the other eating disorders, are typically difficult to pinpoint and well-hidden deep in the individual's psyche. But, research has shown that often times, it is a combination of things that ultimately form the foundation of the development of this complex <link>mental health<link> condition.

In most patients, it is found that the causes of binge eating disorder stem from three core elements - their genetics, their emotions and their life experiences.

Binge Eating Causes - Genetics

  • Low levels of Serotonin in the brain
  • A poorly-functioning hypothalamus
  • A genetic mutation that affects food addiction

Binge Eating Causes - Emotions

  • Depression
  • Low self-esteem
  • Dissatisfaction with one's body image
  • Loneliness
  • Poor control over one's impulses

Binge Eating Causes - Life Experiences

  • Exposure to negative comments at a young age
  • Sexual, mental or physical abuse
  • Social pressures
  • Being raised in a family that uses food as a reward or as a source of comfort
