How do you diagnose and treat emotional eating? how do you diagnose and treat emotional eating? what types of specialists should i see and what are some healthy habits i can adopt to combat the problem?

First : First step would be to visit a psychologist or psychiatrist to get a mental health evaluation for emotional eating. There are different diagnoses in the mental health field that will include abnormal eating habits and treatments can be different in each case. You must control "stress" as part of tackling emotional eating; practice relaxation techniques or even yoga. Other suggestions involve stocking up on healthy foods and don't stock up on the unhealthy foods, find other distractions from eating such as exercise/take a walk/listen to music or watch something, and talk with trusted others (because seeking support will calm down emotions).
