carbohydrates as self-medication to induce tryptophan absorption across the bloodbrainbarrier.
PMDD. gotcha.
weight gain/loss can be a symptom in many psych disorders. DSM-IVTR says so. must be right.
or perhaps!!! all psychology can be simply reduced to biology (what a lemma). hence little need for any other board other than "BIOLOGICAL".
more likely folks come here because they are in pain. They would like support. they would like support from people who have faced similar issues.
where do I turn to for support if overweight is a symptom of a psychological disorder/psychiatric disease? Where do I go to find folks like me?
I don't want to "anti-support" the folks struggling with the symptoms or history of the restrictive eating disorders. Not my intention.
Okay. feeling kinda woozy now. high altitude on this detergent carton. lack of O2.
maybe my lack of poor judgement (i.e. re-engaging in this thread) is a symptom? whatever.
