Dr. Carlos Satulovsky answered

Specializes in Psychiatry

Psychiatrist: Psychiatric consultation could rule out eating disorder, after evaluation, examination and careful history taking. See a psychiatrist in your area. This might indicate a more serious problem, do not delay treatment. Best of lucks.
