[QUOTE="LittleDudesMom, post: 404006, member: 805"] [FONT="Comic Sans MS"][SIZE="4"]I think one of the reasons there is some misunderstanding here between Jena and some board members is understanding that the clinic where Jena's daughter is being treated primarily deals with food phobia due to choking or vomiting episodes. While anxiety may develop from children who have had an experience with choking and then fear eating, Jena's daughter had the anxiety first. It is also the philosophy of many doctors who deal with pediatric food phobia issues to deal the the effects of malnutrition before addressing any emotional/behavorial issues. Their philosophy is that it would be counter product to diagnose and treat any psychiatric issue while a child is malnourished. The Maudsley approach does have a belief that addressing these issues before getting a child "physically healthy" leads to "over diagnosis" and "over treatment with dangerous medications". They deal more with the physical than the emotional. Jena is not in a place where they are going to address and treat the anxiety as we would do. It's getting her out of a physical health crisis. If he can eat for three days on her own, she's done. For those of us on the board, we deal with psychiatric issues every single day! We see the positives with therapy and medication. It's hard for us to understand how they can say that Jena's difficult child is ready to go home when we see her anxiety still through the roof. [/SIZE][/FONT] [/QUOTE]
