What Are the Treatments for Compulsive Eating Disorder?
Compulsive eating disorder, a cause of obesity and obesity-related diseases, is an addiction and should be treated as such. The same “feel good” chemicals are released in the brains of compulsive eaters, people with obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) and cocaine addicts, according to research conducted by Daniel Amen, M.D., author of “Change Your Brain, Change Your Life.” The good news is that, most often, it is not the fault of the eater. Help is available.
