Frequently, sleep-related eating leads to severe weight gain and, so far, there are no treatment options for the condition. Case presentation: We report the case of a 54-year-old white woman with depression, panic disorder, and sleep apnea under treatment with various antidepressants who developed severe sleep-related eating.
