Overeating means excessive eating. Compulsive eating is uncontrolled overeating based on "emotional hunger," not physical hunger. It often comes with a seemingly irresistible urge to eat.
People who compulsively overeat are often trying to find comfort, escape from a problem, or calm their anxiety with food. Emotional eaters are trapped in a vicious cycle: eating to feel better, feeling worse instead, and then turning back to food for comfort and relief.
