The Neurobiology of "Food Addiction" | Eric Zorrilla, PhD

Many practitioners are unaware of the current prevalence of "food addiction" and its comorbidity with other disorders.  Many practitioners are also unaware of similarities in behavioral and neurobiological aspects of "food addiction" on the one hand to recognized addictions to substances of abuse on the other.  Finally, many practitioners may also be unaware of criteria that can distinguish uncomplicated overeating or obesity from "food addiction."  The present presentation seeks to address these practice gaps.
