Does anyone eles feel they have a food addiction?

Do doctors consider this an eating disorder? If you've had or do have this problem does therepy help? Are there medications beside diet pills that could help?

    Yup.. There are compulsive eating disorders and binge eating (with or without the presence of purging afterwards)... Maybe sometimes its not so much of a "disorder" as a "habit" that needs to be taken care of. It is something that needs to be counseled through, not so much medicated--there is usually some psychological thing behind it.
