[QUOTE="HaoZi, post: 415711"] Not eating can also be a sign of deep depression, which would not be any surprise. Some people eat a lot when they're depressed, others simply stop wanting to eat. They're not hungry, in some cases even the smell of food makes them sick. Unless you're absolutely certain that he is willfully refusing to eat simply to be obstinate, it may just be another sign of how affected his is by all this. If he doesn't perk up in any way when he smells favorite foods (a look in the eye, a glance at the food, even a sign of anger) his brain may not be processing that it's there and his body needs it, it's too overwhelmed by everything else. Are they medicating him for depression? Has that even been discussed? [/QUOTE]
