Binge Eating Disorder – Current Treatment – Treatment Algorithms: Claims Data Analysis – Binge Eating Disorder (US)

Binge eating disorder (BED) is a prevalent condition in the United States, affecting millions of individuals across diverse demographics. It is characterized by recurrent episodes of excessive food consumption accompanied by a lack of control over eating behavior, leading to significant emotional and physical distress. Effective treatment often involves a combination of psychotherapy, such as CBT, and medications such as lisdexamfetamine and antidepressants. However, BED remains underdiagnosed due to stigma and low awareness. Addressing these challenges through public education and healthcare training can improve diagnosis and treatment outcomes, while ongoing research may lead to more effective therapies in the future. In this report, we assess drug usage patterns in BED based on U.S. patient-level claims data.
