About Us: Binge Eating Disorder (2017)
Our Journey and Mission
Welcome to Binge Eating Disorder, a news website dedicated to raising awareness, providing support, and offering unbiased information on binge eating disorder (BED). Founded in 2017 with a simple yet powerful vision, we strive to be the go-to resource for individuals seeking understanding, help, or hope regarding this often-misunderstood eating condition.
Our journey began out of a passion to fill an important gap in online resources. We noticed a lack of comprehensive and reliable information on BED, leaving many struggling with the disorder without clear guidance. This inspired us to create a platform that offers accurate insights, shares personal stories, and provides practical support.
