Appetite/ eating sxs: Dr awan is right on target. Her failure to eat in this situation is likely a sx of depression. It is important to treat the disorder but in this case also the sx. If the girl fails to take in enough calories w significant drop in weight, this could work physiologically to keep her depressed. I don't know her age but if she is a child or a young teen, would recommend seeing a child psychiatrist.
