The ABC News program, Nightline, has produced a brief documentary focusing on the problem of food addiction / compulsive overeating. The program depicts someone who is beginning their treatment and attempts to illustrate the severity of related eating disorders from an addictions perspective.

As ABC has been doing an expanded series on the topic of addictions in general. We are grateful for the opportunity to educate the public on the disease concept (addictions approach) as it relates to eating disorders - in particular the binge eating disorders.

The program was shown on Thursday, May 17th, 2010.
