Answer 6

No: Excessive hunger can be a sign of diabetes or other endocrine problems. It is important to know whether it is associated with weight changes, skin changes, or frequent urination during the day or night.

Answer 7

Usually not : Hunger is a complex sensation and often has many reasons for hunger that is out of the ordinary. There are several diseases that can increase hunger and also several medications along with psycological causes.

Answer 8

Possibly: Being hungry a lot can be either a psychological or physical thing. Everybody is different. Feelings and emotions can come into play. Some people are stress eaters or eat when they are bored. Some medicines increase hunger. Most importantly, remember to eat small, healthy meals every 2-4 hours. Be sure to see your family doctor who can order complete blood work to make sure you are healthy.

Answer 9

No: Certain medical conditions like uncontrolled diabetes and hyperthyroidism may make a person more hungry than normal. It is a good idea to have tests done to check for these and other medical conditions before assuming that a person's hunger is only "psychological".

Answer 10

Possibly: Many people do eat more when under stress, and may choose less healthy food items during these periods of time. High carbohydrate foods tend to release serotonin in the brain which acts as a short-term antidepressant. However, excessive hunger can also be a symptom of thyroid problems, diabetes and other potentially serious illnesses and should be investigated by a doctor.

Answer 11

No: There is psychological eating; but hunger is your body's signal that you are missing nutrients. If you are taking a good, organic whole food supplement that provides all of the nutrients your body needs hunger disappears. My favorite supplement is Alpha sun from simplexity health.

Answer 12

Rule out: One would always want to rule out physiological causes before assuming something is "purely a psychological thing."

Answer 13

How long: If lasting a month or more get thus checked out.

Answer 14

Most likely neither.: When one is not "hungry" but always "want(s)" to eat that sounds like some type of eating disorder. It seems you are worried about how you are dealing with wanting to eat all the time but never being hungry. It isn't weird but it isn't normal either. Talk to your doctor or a counselor to help you answer that question.

Answer 15

Not neccesarily: Many times eating is a behavioral response/habit that is independent of hunger. Sometimes we eat in response to being thirsty. If this is the case, you will not feel hungry but eat when you are really thirsty. Since you've fulfilled your eating need, you're brain isn't going to signal that it's hungry because it never is.

Answer 16

Inappropriate: Question for this forum. You need a visit with your primary care provider and oerhaps a GI specialist for amore detailed evaluation.

Answer 17

Underlying issues: Over consumption of food when not hungry may be a display of an underlying issue, emotionally or personally. You may need to seek out counseling or a psychiatrist for advice. I hope that helps.
