Food craving
I have a not normal intense craving for food and i cant stop eating. sometimes i eat nothing (around 600 calories a day)and sometimes i eat everything (maybe around 4000 calories or more). I am seeing a therapist about the possibility of this being an eating disorder, but medically i need to know if there could be something wrong.
