A member asked:
What do you do when someone refuses to eat or drink anything?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See doctor: There are many possible reasons someone might refuse to eat or drink anything. Some are temporary, some last longer. Some show psychiatric illness, and some show general medical illness. Would be best to get this person to his or her primary care physician to see what's going on, and proceed from there. Good luck.
