Make funding and support available for people with Binge Eating Disorder.

Rejected 11 signatures

What the petition asks

Funding is available for people with Anorexia and Bulimia but not for people with Binge Eating Disorder. This is a recognised condition now but no support or funding is available for people with severe issues.

Make funding and specialist support available for people with Binge Eating Disorder. This is a recognised condition now but no support or funding is available for people with severe issues. People with this condition live a private life of hell, full of self hatred, pain, and humiliation. The condition causes physical and emotional problems that could save the NHS a fortune if a specilised program was in place, as it is for those with other eating disorders. This is unacceptable.

Why it was rejected

we understand that you are concerned about support for sufferers of binge eating disorder, but we're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do about this.

Sufferers of binge eating disorder can access treatment and support through the NHS in the same way as sufferers of other eating disorders: https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/eating-disorders/
