Could Extreme Binge Eating Indicate Hormonal Imbalance?

My brother eats all the time. He has gained over 200 lbs in the past 3 yrs. We think its an hormone embalance. He has told his wife -he feels that will will be his last meal. I saw something on 20/20 about children who ate all time. The parents had to luck up the refrigerator. We need answers to help him. Afraid he will have a heart attack.
