SIGNS OF OTHER EATING DISORDERS:

Such items include chalk, starch, plaster, paint chips, glue, rust, cigarette ashes and others.
PRADER-WILLI SYNDROME:
A person is born with this condition and it is due to a gene abnormality. Prader-Willi causes
a person to have an insatiable appetite which can lead to obesity, abnormal development, sleep disorders, compulsive disorders
and stealing (money or food). It can even lead to eating spoiled foods or pet foods in times of desperation.
SLEEP EATING DISORDER (SED-NOS):
Sufferers of this disorder usually binge in the middle of the night while sleep-walking.
They usually do not remember these episodes. Those with SED-NOS usually have the same health risks as compulsive eaters.
