Patient's question:
Doctor, my child is 14 years old, a boy. He has always been fine before, but I don't know what happened at school that caused this. Recently, he has suddenly started having a loss of appetite and doesn't want to eat anything. He has no interest in seeing anything. No matter how we try to persuade him, it doesn't help. This must be a psychological problem, right? How should it be treated?Doctor's answer:
Anorexia is mainly caused by neurotic anorexia, which not only affects physical health but can also lead to psychological problems if it persists for a long time. It's advisable to consume appetite-stimulating foods regularly, such as hawthorn, mango, and oranges. Daily rest should be paid attention to, and staying up late should be avoided. Psychological adjustment can also be used for treatment. Children are in their growth and development phase and need to supplement various nutrients.
