Binge eating: August 2004 Archives

I get many questions from readers about how to get the best help for an eating disorder. This post is an attempt to summarise some useful pointers.

Of course, the process for getting help varies in different countries, but in most parts of the world, the best place to start is with your general practitioner (GP) or family doctor. You may get a varying response, depending on the doctor's knowledge and skill in dealing with EDs. He or she may have good ideas about treatment, may offer treatment him or herself, or make a referral to another service.
