default
Posted on Mon, 1 Dec 2014
Question: i have been vomiting for 1-2 months every day and i have lost 13 pounds so far. I am 124 originally but 111 now. I sometimes don't have any appetite but sometimes I eat well. Also, i discovered that there's a strong urge to vomit every day especially when i am in the toilet at home. May i know if i am having OCD or eating disorder?

Brief Answer:
sounds like eating disorder

Detailed Answer:
Hi

With the information provided I definitely think this is not normal. It requires medical attention as soon as possible. This could be eating disorder.

However it needs confirmation from psychiatrist as there are specific criteria laid to label a person. The criteria is based on history, symptoms, signs on examination and battery of labs.

Whatever you should need counseling by psychologist. Let me know further.
