Specializes in Clinical Psychology

Eating disorders: damage quality of life and can even kill. Please seek appropriate treatment from a specialist in this area. Start w/family doc for a referral. Emotional eating is theoretically tied in w/emotional pain that is being blocked to some degree by eating. Long term it doesn't work and makes things worse. Peace and good health.
