By akoria is designated the absence of the sensation of satiety ( I feel satiated). The main symptom of this condition consists in the loss of the feeling a person normally experiences at the end of the meal which tells him that he has had enough. The patient with akoria never knows when to stop eating. Frequently akoria is found combined with polyphagia, but not always. It is met with in similar conditions as bulimia and polyphagia, neurasthenics and hysterics forming the large majority of cases.
