with appropriate laboratory tests as indicated. Medications are indicated
for binge eating disorder and can result in a 94% reduction in binge
frequency with about twelve to fourteen pound weight loss over fourteen
weeks.
One type
of psychotherapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, can result in an 80%
reduction in binge eating frequency over twenty weeks, and a 60% remission
rate after one year and can be done in either a group or individual
setting.
