St Patrick's Mental Health Services (SPMHS) hosted a webinar exploring binge eating disorder and how to support people through it.
To mark Eating Disorders Awareness Week 2022, experts from our Eating Disorders team delivered a one-hour webinar focusing on binge eating disorder (BED).
Dr Toni O’Connor, Advanced Nurse Practitioner in our Nursing Department; Dr Fionnuala McEnery of our Psychology Department; and Aleysa Howley of our Occupational Therapy Department delivered the talk.
The speakers looked at the impact of BED on daily life for the person experiencing it and considered what steps a person can take to move forward with their recovery. They explored BED from a biopsychosocial perspective, with a specific focus on the compassion-focused therapy of eating disorders.
