From a Toronto mental hospital to a talk show in London, England, she chronicles over 50 years of failure and success. \u003cem\u003eBinge Crazy\u003c\/em\u003e is really about relationships, especially the author's love-hate affair with food and eating. \"There was never enough, could never be enough food to satisfy what was wrong inside,\" says Gold. The author exposes aspects of her life that also reflect those of her clients and others who struggle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eBinge Crazy\u003c\/em\u003e is not the standard \"how to\" book - but it is an example of what not to do. It is a daringly honest portrayal of what it's like to be inside the head and heart of someone who suffers from out-of-control eating, and the zigzag recovery process. \u003cem\u003eBinge Crazy\u003c\/em\u003e formed the basis for Gold's chapter on severe food addiction for the textbook, \u003cem\u003eProcessed Food Addiction, Foundations, Assessment and Recovery\u003c\/em\u003e (Taylor \u0026amp; Francis), since she met all eleven substance use criteria in the definitive mental health reference, the \u003cem\u003eDSM-5\u003c\/em\u003e (\u003cem\u003eDiagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders.
