What is compulsive overeating?

See below: True hunger comes from our hypothalamus after measuring our energy needs and food stores. But it tells other areas of our brain (the nucleus accumbens, caudate and putamen) to generate the hunger signal. This signal can be generated abnormally in diseases of food addiction and set off by stress, depression and various food triggers. We then eat more then we intend to.

The usual answer is: Complusive eating disorder is a form of bulimia or maybe binge eating disorder. A discussion with a local specialist might be the best answer to help you sort this out.
