Psychiatrist,  's  Response
Hello Mr. Young. You seems to suffering current lifestyle problems. Obesity is one of the lifestyle disease. It is causes by disturbance in appetite and satiety centers in brain. Leptin hormone is the hormone which is responsible for obesity. Above system dysregulation causes binge eating. However important thing is how this all initiated. Normally some type of stress causes overeating as eating causes pleasure and suppress stress feeling.
To get rid of this problem you should consult some dietitian and psychologist/psychiatrist.
As you need counselling for changing your lifestyle, habits of eating and sleep schedule above professional can guide you. If still you can not be motivated for these changes , you require indoor treatment.
if any stress in your life which is disturbing your study/work, you can take help of psychiatrist for diagnosis and stress.
Hope I have answered your query, if you still have any confusion late me know.
thanks & regards.
