Compulsive overeating is a behavioral condition characterized by the uncontrollable urge to eat large quantities of food, often in response to emotional stress rather than physical hunger. Individuals may consume food rapidly and feel a loss of control during these episodes, leading to feelings of guilt or shame afterward. This condition can result in significant weight gain and health issues, such as obesity and diabetes. Treatment options often include therapy, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and support groups, which help individuals develop healthier eating habits and coping strategies for emotional triggers.
