A
Compulsive Overeating
💡 Explanation:
Compulsive overeating is characterized by a continuous, addictive pattern of excessive food consumption where a person feels unable to control their eating. Unlike binge eating disorder which involves discrete episodes, compulsive overeating refers to an ongoing loss of control around food. Body dysmorphic disorder involves body image distortion, and orthorexia is an unhealthy obsession with healthy eating rather than addiction.
