6. Night eating syndrome
Night eating syndrome (NES) is a condition in which disrupted circadian rhythms cause an increased appetite at nighttime, and can lead to serious physical and psychological consequences to those affected by this syndrome.
“Most people who suffer from this believe that they have no control over their behavior and feel guilty and depressed,” says psychotherapist Richard A. Singer, Jr., author of The Essential Addiction Recovery Companion. He also suggests that while therapy may help patients who are diagnosed with this condition, there is little research into what is an effective long-term solution for treating it.
