We had a lecture on Eating Disorders in Psychiatry today, and the more we talked about them, the hungrier I became. Until I finally gave in and started eating my lunch during class. And that's when I realized that I might actually have binge-eating disorder.
Our second lecture was on Somatoform Disorders. And that's when I realized that I don't have binge-eating disorder, I just have hypochondriasis, or "the idea that one has a serious disease based on the person's misinterpretation of bodily symptoms or bodily functions."
What a great day of learning!
