When we use the term ‘eating disorder‘, our minds automatically think of anorexia and bulimia. Surprisingly, however, compulsive overeating is the most common eating disorder. Anorexia accounts for 8% of eating disorder cases, bulimia 19%, and other specified eating disorders (in which compulsive eating would fall under) 47%. It is also likely that this condition is under-reported, as many people try to disguise their habits.
