What Causes Disinterest, Loss Of Appetite And Laziness In A Teenager?
My 13 yr old nice has no appetite for food. Has become unattentive in study. very poor performance. Becomes depressed. She is not keen to learn anything. She Only likes to watch TV and to eat fast food. Is she a psycho patient? How to get rid of this situation?
Hello, I dont think she is a psycho patient. Disinterest for studies and food can occur in nornal children. As far as mental problems are concerned, children with these problems have learning disability, or they may be suffering from depression. You must also enquire from teachers of her about environment in classroom, hers friends, her behaviour in school. Hope this woul reduce your worries. Thanks.
