Hi,I am Dr. Alexander H. Sheppe (Psychiatrist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Causes Loss Of Weight When Diagnosed With EDNOS And Bulimia?
I am diagnosed with EDNOS and Bulimia. In the past week I have lost 10% of my body weight by restricting and exercising. I have fainted once this week and I m only going to the toilet to urinate once a day. My BMI has gone from 24.8 to 22.7. I have a psychologist appointment next week and by then I will more than definitely have lost at least 15% of the starting body weight. My question Is, will I be sent to hospital to be re fed or put on the weight I lost??!.
dear, if your weight is critically low or if there are objective signs of malnutrition, in that case I would advice you an admission. as far as your concern for weight gain goes it appears to me as morbid. a course of fluoxetine may help you to deal with it. continue to visit psychology as regular sessions of psychology will benefit. thanks
