Behind The Binge

#60 “It's not just about dopamine!" Why ADHDers Are More Prone to Binge Eating.

Listen Later

Binge eating is common enough with ADHDers that some sources recommend screening for it with an ADHD diagnosis.

Contrary to stereotypes, ADHDers don't just binge impulsively because they are seeking dopamine for pleasure.

Yes, dopamine plays a role in ADHD symptoms, but binge eating often stems from more unmet needs – physical, emotional, or psychological. 

This is what we are diving into today!

We chat about soooo much (and yet still…not enough) related to the intersection of ADHD and binge eating, like:

  • The subtypes of ADHD (& how ADD is no longer a diagnosis)
  • How to overcome the main binge triggers with ADHD
  • Identifying when and why you may be seeking dopamine from food
  • New tips to try to meet your needs
  • & more!
