I have inattentive type ADHD and have been a binge eater since early childhood. I suspected in recent years that it was the drive for dopamine. It never felt as simple as “just” emotional eating.

@TheBingeEatingTherapist 2 года назад

Such a complex area and we still don’t fully understand all the functions of dopamine yet. I wish we could get to the point where we actually scan people’s brains so they can see what’s actually going on, rather than diagnosing on a cluster of symptoms

@hannahhissink2388 Год назад

I was diagnosed with both ADHD and Binge eating, I find myself late at night hyper focused on food and start obsessing over what I should eat. Then I get to the point were I feel so guilty about the food I want and make myself think I eat it. And I noticed when it comes to dieting and or meal planning becomes to much for me, and it all goes down hill and I find I eat way more when I focus on eating healthy

@hannahhissink2388 Год назад

Thank you so much for exploring the possible link between ADHD and binge eating. We might finally find ways of managing this aspect of our behavior instead of diet culture saying, “You just don’t have will power.” I’ve been telling myself lately, “You’re stimming” and this awareness helps me take 10 minutes to breathe and be still (sometimes I listen to guided meditation, I color in my journal) and that has helped so much! I haven’t binged in over a week. ❤

I was diagnosed with ADHD (and autism spectrum disorder) last year at the age of 36 (I'm female) as a child I wasn't interested in food at all and only ate very small portions. As a result I was underweight during my childhood and teenage years. I only started to binge food when I moved to my own apartment at 22 years old. I quikly started to gain weight and was overweight for many years. Only after I was put on ADHD medication during january this year, my binge eating completely disappeared. I also used to have problem with alcohol (like I bought it several times a month and drank in large quantities alone in my apartment) but I haven't had the need to buy any ever since I started to use concerta. For me, the ADHD medication stopped my binge eating and alcohol @bus€. I say "for me" because sadly ADHD medication doesn't do that to everyone using it. I think one of the reasons why I started to binge food when I moved to my first own apartment was because I come from a big family (six of us and our parents. No, we are not part of some religious group, my parents just wanted a big family) and my ADHD brain simply was bored to live alone and as a response started to fixate on food. I'm glad people seem to talk more about the relation between ADHD and binge eating. (Sorry for any possible spelling errors, english isn't my mother language)

@rachelm79 Год назад

I disagree that the impulsivity is harder to deal with when you’re really hungry. I binge impulsively when I have just had breakfast or lunch, as well as when I’m hungry. Loving this discussion though.

I have ADHD and struggle with overeating too, It's such a tight link

@mindfuleats4517 7 месяцев назад

The fact that those with ADHD. swing between hyper focusing and almost hyper vigilant shows that the underpinning architecture is there. The problem seems to be with wilfully using the different parts of the attention system. Hyperfocus utilizes the orienting part of the system whilst the alerting system results in a broader monitoring of everything in the environment. Amishi Jha (neuroscientist and attention researcher) is a great resource . Personally I overcame decades of binge eating when I learned how to strengthen and wilfully direct these sub systems through mindfulness.

@KhalanaRedthorne Год назад

I'm late diagnosed ADHD and I suspect BED but I don't quite fit the criteria. I just recently tried Contrave to help, and the quiet I felt from by brain was so strange. It felt like going from a loud room with hundreds of people to just silence. I was finally able to notice and honour when I was hungry, and when I was full, but I had no idea prior to this just how out of touch with those signals I was. I'm not able to continue with the medication unfortunately, which is what led me to your video. I found this extremely helpful, so thank-you for making it!

@petyavelikova5066 6 месяцев назад

I know its an old post but are you still having results with Contrave? I am taking Wellbutrin and Naltrexone but it worked the first 4 months and since then it works like 30%, i can see the difference when I stopp it altogether, obsessing about food is back and the food noise.

@kathleenhillier6765 Год назад

I deal with boredom by planning creative things that so want to do later that day and imagine those things which raises my dopamine levels. I’ve known that eating often isn’t beneficial because it raises your insulin levels which can cause insulin resistance. Fir me, planning to eat 3 times per day healthy and complete meals has helped me.

I identify hard with the blonde lady saying when you have a parent like that undiagnosed it is normal to you. I remember telling my mum I learn slower than everyone else. I dont know any of my times tables. I think I have ADHD and dyscalculia at least. I have meltdowns that arnt always predictable. I'm trying to learn to predict them better. I have tics too which can be caused by ADHD. I am in the UK on a waiting list that will take years. Sigh.

I was diagnosed with ADHD 6weeks ago and in my assessment we discussed my eating habits. I never realized I had a binge eating disorder too. I've always been very conscious of my body composition but have only been able to maintain good eating habits and healthy weight when I've been in hyperfocus. The rest of the time I'm embarrassed about what I binge on. Just about to start stimulant medication and hoping to see a different in my dietary choices.

I’ve not actually been fully diagnosed, but had been going through a lot of therapy, and all that to get the actual diagnosis, some of the ones there that I’ve talked to, and have told them about all of the stuff that I’ve dealt with for almost my whole life, came to the conclusion that I probably do have it, that out of the way I’ve dealt with binge eating and weight gain and the lack of exercise my whole life, it especially got bad in high school

@jojofeeney 19 дней назад

I think the video was good. In my experience, diagnosed at 65, binge eating is pretty well entrenched as a life coping mechanism. So, doing much better with a regular eating schedule but I can't have treats in the house, and I am just ok with that for now. I am not as hungry or as frantic if I have a good selection of food around. But for anyone starting out, I wouldn't recommend having your favorite binge food around-- that's too hard at the outset. I also find I am making my meals taste way better and that is relieving some of the anxiety as well.

@mlouw8218 2 года назад

Indeed! Because my disordered eating started in my early teens, and that’s often when autism and adhd challenges become more apparent in girls, it’s hard for me to tell if some of my symptoms have always been present or are actually the result of disordered eating.

But what about intermittent fasting? Because ot feels so good, it's healthy, and in the moment it helps my binge episodes. But after a week it triggers my binge eating for weeks to get rid of. Qlso healthy snacks alternative doesn't help because nuts and stuff, then i eat handfull of raisins and nuts which is really abusive to the guts at that point. Or quinoa, then i eat a pot that is supposed to be for 3 people. Can't stop till it's finished. I am helpless.

So after all these years I have just thought I was a crazy kind of person. My thoughts constantly flying through my head, I have a horrid time with food regulation, and I finally understand why I have such a hard time with time management. I have to play sudoku while watching RU-vid videos just to focus and before I know it is 4am. Thank You for this! I really appreciate it.

@brandydinsmore8214 4 месяца назад

May I ask what differentiated between a “binge” amount of food and eating at not great times like 1 am when not working 2-3 shift) or reasons (boredom, sadness?) but the amount of food perhaps isn’t harmful in itself. Is it the feeling of compulsion or obsessing on food while doing other things what makes it different?

I'm sure I have this. I went to a Dr and asked about it once about 12 yrs ago and he dismissed it. So I've never brought it up again. How do I find help? Its so hard for me to bring this up with a Dr. Do I need medical help for this?

@TheBingeEatingTherapist Год назад

You can speak to your GP. Some people seek medical help because there is medication (which a Dr has to prescribe) and this helps some people. Some people just like knowing whether they fit the criteria and then they go away and educate themselves about ways of managing it. You can get private assessments. I don’t know the best place to sign post you for this so you my want to join some online ADHD support groups and ask around

@Mrslsel 8 месяцев назад

I got a referral for psychiatrist from GP. A psychiatrist is more familiar with adhd and prescribing instead of a GP. Good luck. It took me almost 4 years to get adhd help, again, due to a prior alcohol problem, regardless of my 2006 adhd diagnosis. I had to be re- evaluated again, and am combined type. I struggle with BED, and had anorexia & bulimia issues as a teen.

@mrmanic4151 9 месяцев назад

Point of information that might be handy. There is some evidence that treatment of ADHD symptoms over the long term can lead to remission. If a child with ADHD is put on medication, over the long term, there have been permanent changes observed in brain function such that a diagnosis of ADHD may no longer fit.

I just watched this interesting video on brain studies of people with bulimia, and they mention how some of the same brain regions seem to be affected as in people with adhd (it sounds like they don’t know if bulimia creates the same problems, or if bulimia is just one possible result of something structural).
