Can over-eating or obesity be an eating disorder?

What will be an ideal response?


Suggested response:
? Obesity or being "portly" is not a DSM diagnosis;
? When the individual uses food to cope with their problems in life,
compulsive eating can be a serious eating pattern much like anorexia or
bulimia but overall, obesity is not a diagnosis.
