Prevention
By Mayo Clinic staffThere's no sure way to prevent binge-eating disorder. But, if you notice a family member or friend with low self-esteem, severe dieting, frequent overeating, hoarding of food or dissatisfaction with appearance, consider talking to him or her about these issues. Although you may not be able to prevent binge-eating disorder or another eating disorder from developing, you can talk about healthier behavior or treatment options.
