[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is often a sign of undiagnosed ADHD. Considering getting a neuropsych eval for your daughter and having her take Adderall/Vyvanse, which will reduce her "food noise" [/quote] This - consider this please. Are there other signs of perhaps some way her brain works or experiences the world differently? Be real about this. Look at how adhd, anxiety, etc present in girls (often different than boys). How is she with other body functions- how does she know she is hungry, or how does feeling full feel, for example. Sometimes this happens with adhd (impulsive) or anxious kid ( looking to control something) or plenty of other things. I think a neuropsych could offer information on why there may be some tendency to overeat. And addressing the overall why will help more than just this one symptom. [/quote] Thanks. This is really helpful and I hadn't connected it as a possibility. -OP [/quote]
