Changes in Eating Habits

Significant changes in eating patterns—such as overeating or losing appetite—can be a sign of emotional distress. Some people use food for comfort during stressful periods, leading to unhealthy weight gain, while others lose interest in eating due to anxiety or depression. These eating disruptions can result in physical health issues and worsen emotional well-being. Recognizing these changes and addressing underlying stressors through professional help or self-care practices can aid in maintaining a balanced diet and overall mental health.
