[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is she on any medication? [/quote] No. Hesitant to do so for many reasons. Worries it will suppress her appetite even more. She doesn’t experience hunger as it is and has fallen off the growth curve. She also may have a heart condition that would be exacerbated by any stimulants. She’s also still very young and hasn’t hit puberty yet, so I’m wary of putting anything in her system before she even hits her key growth stage. [/quote] I was thinking an SSRI for the anxiety which also can cause weight gain or hunger. I was a teen (of course undiagnosed in the 90s) with ADHD, anxiety and disorder eating. I don’t like what you have described. Kids with eating disorders will fight you to death before admitting there is a problem. 1) They don’t think there is 2)If they do think secretly think there is a problem, they aren’t ready to give up their disordered eating and the sense of control and release it brings them.[/quote]
