But erring on the side of caution is typically the attitude of so many medical insurance companies. According to the U.S. Government's National Institute of Mental Health, "Obese people with binge-eating disorder often have coexisting psychological illnesses including anxiety, depression, and personality disorders." This is undeniable, when you look carefully within and at others with the disorder. But the fact remains, we CAN get healthy, whole, and healed from bingeing. Eventually the penalty - the price we pay - for a problem with food that we never ever wanted, and couldn't help having, goes away. Thank goodness! Bummer.
