If you or someone you know struggles with weight and/or eating-related issues, BINGE CRAZY is a compelling read. It offers both an experiential and professional view of what does and doesn’t work in the treatment of binge eating and overeating, along with valid insight into the disorder’s psychological and sociological origins.

According to the National Eating Disorders Association (NEDA), some 20 million women and 10 million men in the U.S. will suffer from a clinically significant eating disorder at some time in their life, including anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, binge eating disorder or an eating disorder not otherwise specified. Moreover, there are millions who struggle with disordered eating behaviors but may not be diagnosed as readily because their outward appearance or symptoms are not as obvious.

In BINGE CRAZY: A Psychotherapist’s Memoir of Food Addiction, Mental Illness, Obesity and Recovery      Natalie Gold’s story moves from a Toronto mental hospital to a taping of the David Frost show in London, England, spanning more than fifty years on two continents. “Binge Crazy is a true story of ‘the what and the who’ I ate over, and how losing my mind ultimately led to a more fulfilling life,” says Gold, who has a private practice in Toronto, Canada, and has led workshops on eating-related issues since 2002. “I now know I blamed binge eating and my mother for my misery. But really, my compulsion to overeat was just the symptom of a deeper unrest.”
