What you'll learn in this expert session

Binge eating disorder has the highest lifetime prevalence of all eating disorders, yet it is far less recognised than anorexia nervosa or bulimia. In this presentation, Dr Urvashnee Singh, a Psychiatrist, will present the key features of this disorder including the DSM-5 criteria for diagnosis. The talk is tailored to equip clinical practitioners with the necessary knowledge to identify, understand, and manage binge eating disorder effectively in their practices as well as helping them recognise and address likely physical and psychiatric comorbidities associated with this disorder.

About the Expert

A/Prof Samantha Hocking

Dr Urvashnee Singh is the Medical Director and Founder of Esus Centre, Australia’s first licensed eating disorder day hospital, established in February 2024. Previously, she led the inpatient eating disorder program at The Hollywood Clinic from 2013 to 2022, where she managed a successful multidisciplinary team to optimise patient outcomes and reduce hospital stays. She also developed and implemented the country's first binge eating program, addressing the need for specialized care for this prevalent disorder. Believing in a more integrated and robust treatment model for eating disorders, she co-founded Esus Centre with Clinical Psychologist Kerry Mairs and Dr Susan Cann, a specialist eating disorder GP. Esus Centre offers high-intensity and low-intensity adolescent and adult day hospital programs, alongside a multidisciplinary outpatient clinic and a GP monitoring service. This innovative approach aims to reduce the negative impact of fragmented care and intervene early to prevent severe medical and psychological consequences that require hospitalisation
