NI man opens up on overcoming binge eating and urges others not to be afraid to seek help

A Northern Ireland man, who suffered from a binge eating disorder for 15 years, has urged other men not to be afraid to speak up and seek help.

Jamie Wright, 30, who is originally from Dromore but now lives in Ballymena, has opened up about his experiences as a new survey today finds that over half of men in Northern Ireland with eating disorders have never received treatment and a third have never sought it.

The survey was carried out by the UK’s eating disorder charity Beat to mark the start of Eating Disorders Awareness Week.
