[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 313030, member: 2423"] I'm going to say it depends. Your son should have a full medical workup to make sure there is no underlying physical problem before you assume it's psychological. Have you talked to his pediatrician about the nausea and vomiting problem? It could be a myriad of problems including GERD, migraines, seizures, celiac disease, etc, etc. My son, who has a diagnosis of bipolar disorder, also has debilitating migraines that cause nausea and vomiting. Once we got him on preventive migraine medications, the nausea and vomiting resolved. If all the medical stuff is ruled out, anxiety that accompanies bipolar disorder can cause nausea and vomiting. Once the mood is stabilized with appropriate medication, the somatic symptoms often disappear. My daughter, who has a diagnosis of mood disorder, suffered from anxiety that caused stomachaches and headaches that disappeared when her mood was stabilized with the right medications. Rule out physical causes first, psychological causes second. Hang in there. [/QUOTE]
