I know somebody that is almost always hunched over by his chair, rarely standing straight. He is always eating candies and cake, but he never seems hyperactive because of it. I just want to know if there's a specific psychological disorder, potentially diagnosable through the DSM-IV, that this person may have.

Compulsive Overeating: People with compulsive eating disorder feel unable to stop eating, eat very fast, eat when they're not hungry, eat only when alone, or eat nearly non-stop throughout the day; often over-indulge in sugary foods and use them in an attempt to elevate their mood. Many will hunch over their food as if they were hoarding it.

well i dont believe you can diagnose a person with any particular illness by a slouched posture and eating sweets. if this person is a loved on and you believe they have something truly wrong then maybe take them to a doctor and have them checked out.

This person doesn't mind why do you? Seriously it doesn't sound like a mental health question someone just loves junk food!
