I need help! how do i stop eating paper?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Pica, eating non-: food items for a month or more, is seen in many mental & developmental disorders. like Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, other Eating Disorders, family disorganization & Autistic Spectrum Disorder. See your PCP to rule out nutritional deficiencies, anemia, pregnancy, constipation & intestinal blockage. You need a psychiatrist & a psychologist for accurate diagnoses, therapy & possible medications.
