Food Addiction
When food becomes the way you manage every feeling.
Understanding food addiction
Food addiction describes a compulsive relationship with eating, particularly highly palatable foods, that resembles substance dependence, with cravings, loss of control, and continued use despite harm. It is closely tied to emotion and often to shame.
