it's a condition where the feeling of hunger arises as a result of an emotional trigger like sadness, stress, loneliness, boredom, or anxiety, rather than a physical need. in this process, a person uses food as a coping mechanism to soothe their emotional emptiness or the difficulties they're going through. someone whose life plays out in a narrow space, who doesn't have many pursuits and doesn't have the strength either, when there are problems they need to solve and those problems "peak," turns to food for relief. putting off problems can lead to this too.
