Dr. Anthony Vertino answered

Specializes in Clinical Psychology

OA: Start with overeaters anonymous for instant support and talking with others who struggle with the same issues. They have in person and online programs and forums. Individual therapy can help identify patterns and triggers that lead to compulsive eating as well.
