Addictions
is characterized by an
obsessive/compulsive
relationship to food.
Professionals address this with
either a behaviour-modification
model or a food-addiction
model. An individual suffering
from compulsive overeating
disorder engages in frequent
episodes of uncontrolled eating,
or bingeing, during which they
may feel frenzied or out of
control, often consuming food
past the point of being
comfortably full.
Problem gambling
Problem gambling
(ludomania) is an urge to
gamble despite harmful
negative consequences or a
desire to stop. The term is
preferred to compulsive
gambling among many
professionals, as few people
described by the term
experience true compulsions in
the clinical sense of the word.
Problem gambling often is
defined by whether harm is
experienced by the gambler or
others, rather than by the
gambler's behavior.
