Over-eating, or under-eating, may be a symptom of/arise from a mental disorder, but 'over-eating' per se doesn't refer to the disordered thinking patterns that lead to it.

Binge eating disorder (BED). Or binge eating w/purging (bulimia). But people with no mental issues can overeat from time to time without a psychological component.

Always eating too much because one believes one isn't eating enough. Forcing yourself to eat more when you are not even hungry anymore and have already eaten enough.
