What Causes Craving For Human Blood After Depression Treatment?

I am 16 years old. I have recently gone through depression treatment. But for the past few months I have been craving human blood. My boyfriend is a skateboarding and he gets hurt. So when he bleeds he allows me to drink it. I don't want to stop. But I just don't know what is wrong with me.

Hello and welcome to Healthcare Magic. Thanks for your query.

I understand that you are concerned about your "craving for human blood". You have mentioned that you have recently undergone psychiatric treatment and it is possible that your present symptoms could pe part of your previous psychiatric problem that is still unresolved.

You will need a detailed evaluation including a proper psychological assessment, in order to determine the exact cause of your current symptom. So, I would advise you to report your symptom to your treating psychiatrist and have further evaluation.

Wish you all the best.
