What this trial studies

This observational study aims to identify specific profiles in adults with binge eating disorder (BED) based on their emotion regulation, executive function, and additional eating pathology.

Participants will complete questionnaires before, during, and after treatment, including follow-ups at 6 and 12 months. The study will be conducted at three sites in Denmark, focusing on understanding the interplay of various factors contributing to BED.
