Pica

"A person afflicted with pica has a persistent craving for a substance that is not commonly considered to be food. The substances that are craved and ingested tend to vary with the person's age. Children with pica may eat glue, animal droppings, sand, insects, leaves, or gravel. Adolescents and adults may consume clay, laundry detergent, or soil. Although the cravings associated with pica may be related to vitamin or mineral deficiencies, ingesting non-foods can cause serious medical complications such as intestinal obstruction, intestinal perforation, infections, or lead poisoning. Pica is most frequently seen in young children and pregnant women."

"Sleep-related eating disorder happens during sleep, with no memory of the event. Nocturnal eating disorder is when people wake up hungry and, with full memory and consciousness, begin to eat," Silber says. "We have had people with nocturnal eating disorder who were put on Ambien, and they converted to nocturnal sleep disorder. There may be a continuum, but that has not been well explored."

Yea I got one. Everyday I eat...I mean everyday without missing a day. Sometimes I eat like 4 or 5 times in 1 day!!! it's crazy and I don't know what to do. I think I'll have some brain food.

Well, here's a couple:

-binge eating: it's where you eat when your bored, or when your emotional.

-Anorexia Athletica: it is a more common eating disorder in people who are involved with sports. This disorder is also known as compulsive excersizing. The individual with anorexia athletica will exercise far beyond the normal and healthy amount or time. They do very hard workouts for long periods of time that is not healthy for the body. The person will start to neglect friends, school and other things they were once interested in so they have enough time to exercise. People with anorexia athletica hardly ever celebrate when they have a victory and just move on to the next challenge.

-Muscle Dysmorphia: People who have muscle dysmorphia, which is also called bigorexia are much different form anorexics. In fact they are the opposite. People with bigorexia worry about being to small and not developed. Even if they do have well developed muscles, they fear that their muscles are not big enough. Someone with bigorexia may excercise compulsivly to try and get bigger muscles. This disorder occurs both in males and females although it occurs more in males.

Hope this helps!!!
