Binge eating is a symptom of an eating disorder (ED). When someone we care about experiences binge eating episodes as a result of this disorder, it can be difficult to know how to help them. It's normal to feel worried and try to find ways to manage the situation, but it's recommended that all monitoring strategies be discussed with the relevant professionals and adopted collaboratively. Only in this way can the affected person receive the appropriate support.

In this regard, if any external control measure is deemed necessary (for example, restricting access to the kitchen), it is important that it has the approval of both the affected person and the family, in the case of a minor.
