RE: The Endless Conversation: For my daughter (part two of six)
If a person is not able to stop consuming something, even when they need to stop for medical reasons, then it will clearly be an obsession, which is of course not healthy at all.
Does it require a doctor to diagnose it every time or can people make some decisions based on how they look and feel?
I think there are a lot of various obsessions covered with a lot of justifications.
I think involving a doctor every time would be kind of extreme. Although eating something to the point of it being unhealthy is not so easy I think. Probably feelings of repulsion will appear eventually.
At least that's with my case when I eat excessive amounts of certain food.
