[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 59214, member: 2423"] Even 10-year-old boys can suffer from anorexia nervosa. Most of the time eating disorders are a manifestation of existing anxiety, which I assume your difficult child has as a result of his diagnosis of BiPolar (BP). You need to take this very seriously and talk with his psychiatrist tomorrow. Eating disorders don't go away on their own. They typically need intensive interventions that include medication and behavior modification. My own daughter developed a choking phobia last summer, refused to eat, and lost so much weight that she was hospitalized. She was fed via NG tube for a month and attended a day treatment program for five weeks. With intensive interventions, she is doing great a year later. Please call the psychiatrist tomorrow. I don't mean to scare you, but your son needs help immediately. [/QUOTE]
