Emotional eating is a tendency to overeat or eat unhealthy foods in response to strong negative emotions. While occasional emotional eating isn’t necessarily problematic, too much can interfere with health goals and worsen self-esteem. Assess your emotional eating habits here.
This test is for anyone who wants to assess their tendency to use eating as a way to cope with strong emotions. This test is designed for adults and is not intended to be diagnostic.
If you are concerned about unhealthy eating habits and interested in building healthier coping skills, make an appointment with a licensed mental health provider; you can find one in your area on the Psychology Today Therapy Directory.
