Join us in a unique, interactive program designed to guide your treatment of patients with binge eating disorder (BED).

Although the most prevalent recognized eating disorder, BED remains underdiagnosed. It is also often associated with other psychiatric and physiological comorbidities, with up to 79% of patients with BED meeting the criteria for other psychiatric disorders. The BED and Me program is built on clinical scenarios that reflect typical patients you might encounter in your practice, with practical advice on how to approach management decisions. Clinical choices, supported by data, demonstrate how decisions made impact patients’ lives.
