<s>[INST] What are the complications of emotional eating? [/INST] Emotional eating can occur in obese and non-obese people, with or without a psychiatric disorder. It can lead to the onset of obesity and make it hard to adhere to any weight loss treatments. It may also predispose the development of eating disorders. Assessment and treatment by a mental health professional, psychologist or psychiatrist can help overcome this problem. Source: Clinic Barcelona.
