    Area of Science:

    • Psychiatry
    • Primary Care Medicine
    • Eating Disorders

    Background:

    • Binge-eating disorder (BED) is the most prevalent eating disorder in the United States.
    • BED is frequently underdiagnosed by both healthcare providers and patients.
    • Patients with BED often present with significant psychiatric and medical comorbidities.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To highlight the high prevalence of BED.
    • To emphasize the importance of recognizing BED in primary care settings.
    • To underscore the role of nurse practitioners (NPs) in assessing and managing BED.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of diagnostic criteria for BED.
    • Discussion of assessment strategies for BED in primary care.
    • Overview of evidence-based treatment options for BED.

    Main Results:

    • BED affects a significant portion of the population.
    • Lack of recognition hinders timely diagnosis and treatment.
    • Effective treatments exist for BED and its comorbidities.

    Conclusions:

    • NPs in primary care are well-positioned to identify and manage BED.
    • Increased awareness and knowledge among NPs can improve patient outcomes.
    • Coordinated care by NPs can address the complex needs of patients with BED.
