A member asked:
How should someone develop a binge eating disorder or become a compulsive overeater?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No single factor : Eating disorder " binge purge type or anorexia should be differentiated from " poor eating habits " if you are concerned about an eating disorder kindly please seek a clinical evalualtion preferably by a " psychiatrist " . If a negative can be established and depression ruled out than behavioural considerations should be considered.
