Some children often suffer from anorexia nervosa due to mental trauma, psychological imbalance and psychological disorder, which is manifested as refusing to eat and eating less, leading to nutritional deficiency, endocrine disorders and weight loss over time. Parents must pay great patience to this sick child and ask endocrinologists and neurologists for psychotherapy if necessary.
