Code of BED in DSM V is (F50. The definition of BED is someone who experiences uncontrollable binge eating, and these episodes can be repeated. after that someone is trying to get his food out or purging . nducing vomiting by himself or by using laxatives, diuretics, or enema. It is happened during the last 3 months. 1 BED is common in eating disorder. Several researches have evidenced that BED tends to increase over BED peaks in female adolescents aged 19-22 years and male adolescent aged 24 years. 2 Research in Indonesia, obtained results from 100 people who come to a health clinic, it is known that around 64% show signs of binge eating behavior disorder. 3 Treatment that can be given for BED include psychotherapy, pharmacotherapy, and weight loss METHOD Author used 21 journals and literature including diagnosis BED, and psychotherapy of BED such as CBT. IPT, and DBT. RESULT The general practitioner uses a simple technique in psychological management such as listening, explanation of symptoms, discussion of problems, problem identification, counseling skills, problem-solving techniques, behavioral techniques, cognitive techniques, family, and systemic Several professionals in mental health use Types of psychotherapy used in BED are CBT. IPT, and DBT. DISCUSS Diagnosis BED BED can be enforced by a diagnostic approach based on the DSM-V with the following characteristics: The episode of binge eating occurs at least once a week for three months. An individual consumes a larger amount of food than other people, and these episodes can be repeated. individuals tend to try to lose weight which is called a purging episode . nducing vomiting by themselves or by using laxatives, diuretics, or enema. Psychotherapy of BED Psychotherapy is a formal process that involves the interaction between 2 or more people. In this interaction, there is a helper . and individuals who need help . 5 The goal of psychotherapy is to help people with emotional control disorders and mental illnesses. Psychotherapy can also help people to decrease and control their symptoms, so they feel The role of the general practitioner is as a facilitator, who provides facilitation in overcoming problems with various techniques based on existing theories. 5 Psychotherapy is the collaborative treatment between an individual and a psychologist or other. It also needs a supportive environment where the patient can talk openly with someone objective, neutral, and nonjudgmental. Based on previous research using a randomized control trial method stated that. CBT is one of the psychotherapies that is usually used in cases of binge eating. Patients receiving CBT from a general practitioner or following a self-help program can reduce a rapid change in the symptoms of BED. Interpersonal therapy can be given together with cognitive behavior therapy if the person has interpersonal problems, low self-esteem, and perfectionism. Dialectical behavior therapy consists of educating patients about how to manage problem behaviors associated with emotional dysregulation. Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) CBT is a psychological intervention that aims to treat patients with various mental disorders such as BED. The goal of CBT is to help patients change their patterns of thinking and what they do. CBT also helps patients develop their skills to identify, and deal with problematic thoughts, beliefs, and CBT focuses on current problems, not problems from the past. The role of the general practitioner (GP) in using CBT is to be able to: - Engage patient: This means that GP involves patients to find out the problem, helps determine when patients go to a psychiatrist when to provide general support to the patient, when to assist the patient in solving other problems, and when to provide cognitive therapy. Identify unhelpful behavior patterns: in many cases of BED behavioral strategies can be used such as assisting people to manage stress by not venting binge Identify negative thoughts: patients feel about their perceptions of weight and shape such as they feel obese but are not. Assist patient in challenging negative thinking to change their behavior. In this situation GP needs the trust of the patient so that the patient can tell the problem, the GP listens to the patient's complaint and does not judge the patient's statement. The initial question that the patient can describe is the situation that caused the complaint and how the patient felt about it. CBT is designed to eliminate overeating, replace monotonous eating patterns by normalizing eating patterns, and modify the patientAos thoughts and feelings about personal perceptions of body weight and body shape. GP helps patients to increase self-acceptance because the problems in society are related to Based on this case, using a cognitive and behavioral strategy approach is expected to help patients by changing their eating habits and behavior due to stress. BED can occur because severe dieting can inhibit eating cause compensatory overeating, and cause calorie restriction with chronic onset. So, that condition can increase the patientAos symptoms such as irritability, anxiety, and depression. Another therapy that is still being developed is through a "non-dietary" and focus on self-acceptance, better nutrition, improved body shape, and increased physical activity. 10 CBT helps to find out the relationship between binge eating and a patient's emotions, such as when someone has a bad day or is stressed because of a lot of work, then that person vents his emotions by eating a lot of food. CBT has been shown to have long-term effects on patient behavior and habits but did not have a significant effect on weight loss. CBT for adults with BED should: - Adults can do psychotherapy, usually consisting of 16-20 sessions. - Develop a diet such as regular eating, not excessive eating, and emotional factors such as stress, and depression that can increase appetite. this is useful for reducing BED. - Giving tips to patients to avoid feeling hungry should eat food regularly. - The emotional risk factors that can trigger their BED can be exposure therapy, cognitive restructuring, and behavioral experimentation. - Monitoring BED is done every week, such as dietary intake and body mass index (BMI). - Sharing the weight record with the other person. - Explain to the person that stopping BED can have long-term effects. - Advising to patient donAot try to lose weight, because it can trigger BED. CBT focuses more on cognitive and behavioral problems in GP can give tips or prescriptions such as patients eating food including snacks and meals regularly to change eating patterns to normal, decrease eating habits, conduct exposure to AufearedAy foods, and change the patient's thinking regarding body weight and body image. Interpersonal Psychotherapy (IPT) Interpersonal psychotherapy (IPT) is one of the psychotherapies developed for the treatment of mental disorders such as major depression, bipolar disorder, dysthymic disorder, bulimia nervosa. BED, social disorder, panic disorder, and PTSD. IPT is a psychotherapy that has a limited time basis. It is depending on the type of mental 14 People who experience BED often exert affective suppression on themselves so, instead of expressing a negative influence on themselves, to overcome this they will eat a lot. IPT helps patients to control and reduce negative feelings that cause patients to vent by eating a lot. IPT enhances the development of healthy interpersonal skills by replacing maladaptive behavior by promoting a positive body -image. The step of the therapeutic strategy of psychotherapy in BED is the first phase is composed of 4 sessions. GP can identify the problem of a person with BED, and analysis of the interpersonal context of how BED could have occurred and is still developing and being maintained by the patient. Then, the second phase of therapy is helping patients to change their interpersonal based on their problems. The next phase is reviewing the progress of patients and exploring the patientAos ability to resolve interpersonal difficulties. The timing of doing this strategy depends on the patient. There are three questions that the GP needs to consider before starting therapy: - What is the patient's problem, and can this problem be treated with psychotherapy? - Does the patient benefit and be ready to do this - Is IPT the most suitable psychological approach for this patient? The important factors that can influence the success of this IPT are self-motivation and patient expectations. The IPT approach depends on the principle that life events and social environments affect mood. Mood can affect social and interpersonal functioning and a person's response to the 17 IPT can prevent BED and adult obesity. on previous research there are components of intervention of the ITP program are used: - Initial phase: in this phase. GP can give communication skills such as: Patients could inform others how they are feeling without imparting blame. Identify the aim for this conversation about present issues and avoid using a sentence like Auyou neverAy, and Auyou alwaysAy. Identify whether the patient is speaking a lot or not, if the patient does not talk much, you can identify whether the patient does non-verbal communication or not. Understand the other person's perspective and communicate with that person. Provide support to patients. GP should find the right time for a deep and thoughtful conversation. GP must think about the solution of the patient and remember to compromise: identify a solution and give a second solution - Middle phase: GP monitors every week by conducting a complete assessment of the patients to find out whether there is a change or not. Individuals with BED practice via role play to reach the goal of this therapy. Termination phase: identify triggers of BED and give problem-solving. The role of a general practitioner of ITP in cases of binge eating is as follows: Phase one In this phase, the GP involves the patient for their therapeutic needs and explains the rationale of IPT. GP helps explain about BED. GP gives information to patients about interpersonal difficulties. Interpersonal difficulties are common in patients with eating disorders, even though people have limited awareness of the relationship between preoccupation with increasing weight, body shape, and binge eating. The goal of therapy is to help the patient with interpersonal difficulties rather than on their eating. In the experience of this research, focusing on the eating problem tends to distract both the patient and GP. Identifying interpersonal problems in patients and choosing one of those problem should become the focus of this treatment. There are three pieces of information that GPs have to identify such as a history of the interpersonal problem that developed and has evolved, the GP conducts and identifies the patientAos . nterpersonal inventor. GP asking about significant interpersonal changes over the last few years. identifies changes in the patient's diet. Phase two In this phase, 14 weekly sessions. The goal of this phase is for the patient to understand the interpersonal problems identified and then resolve the problems. Phase three This phase aims to detect any changes after being given treatment and to maintain the treatment to minimize the risk of recurrence in the future. GP can follow up with patients after treatment ends up to 20 weeks after that. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy DBT is one of the psychotherapies that is utilized for mental health problems.

DBT has an important role in cases of mental disorders. DBT has five functions: Improving capabilities such as: regulating emotions. In the case of BED can consume a larger amount of food than other people, and it is a recurrent episode. It has a relation with emotion. Generalizing capabilities such as GP can help patients to change their daily habits such as managing their diet and regulating emotions so that they don't turn to overeat, but to do something else. Increase motivation and decrease dysfunctional behaviors such: as every week the patient will monitor with a therapist to find out the success of the psychotherapy given to the patient. If a failure occurs, a GP or therapist can analyze the causes of failure, provide solutions, and increase motivation. Increase and maintain motivation and therapist capabilities such as GP can give support and encouragement to still following this treatment. Structuring environment. DBT in the case of BED can be done through group therapy by teaching mind fullness, distress tolerance, and emotion regulation skills. DBT that can be given by a general practitioner in cases of BED is as follows: Tell the patient not to do habits that can interfere with DBT. Reduce the behavior of binge eating in patients.
