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.
