The other day when I saw my Heart Doctor, and we talked about my eating problem, he indicated that I most likely have a Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, and that I'm a Compulsive eater. Like a drug user or drinker, we use food to ease and/or hide our emotions and other problems. This really has nothing to do with obesity, as a person can still be a compulsive eater, and be of normal size. I was not that lucky. Is this or could this be secondary to PTSD? This is not meant to be about obesity, but a mental issue that can lead to obesity in a indirect way.
