I see what you mean...
I guess what I'm wondering is whether "doesn't eat when upset" is
something to rep, or whether it's simply "lack of pathology in that
particular area"???

Thanks, Andy -- there are some good thoughts in there. It's interesting to
me how scattered and uncertain this fairly common situation is in our
literature. No remedies emerge strongly.

Rosemary,

Is her anger/anxiety aroused by something that happens at the dinner table? What are the dynamics of her family? Anything going on with the sight or smell of the food?

There's also this rubric:

STOMACH - APPETITE - wanting - vexation, after
nat-m.;1;k petr.;1;k phos.;1;k sulph.;1;dgt

Peace,
Dale

Hi Irene,

an addition to compliment your ideas:

"Anxiety" has often been the translation of the German "Angst". But
Angst does not have the same exact meaning as anxiety. Angst means
something like "fear without objective reason", sometimes it is also
used as a synonym for fear. The fear aspect always has to be present.
It is not used in the sense of e.g. "being anxious to do something" or
general nervousness.

So quite possibly excitement or vexation or sadness from would be the
better rubrics anyway.

Regards

Luise

I think the issue is one of degree. Whereas it might be normative for
someone to not want to eat if in a state of deep grief, for example, it
is quite another if not eating is a pattern with all emotional stress which
could be relatively minor. As stated in a previous post, anorexia usually
concerns issues of control, or feelings of lack of it. So a grief over a
major loss which has a typical pattern of working through, anorexia
doesnt work through. Instead the not eating becomes an ongoing
coping mechanism.

I hope this makes sense to you.

Appetite wanting after vexation -- good find. Thanks!!

Hi, Shannon.

Actually, emotions don't necessarily cause anorexia. I think there are an
equally large number of people whose appetite is increased or even ravenous
in similar circumstances. In this particular case, this is a core
symptom -- the person has lost 25 pounds over 4 months, without any apparent
physiological cause, and the etiology is definitely anxiety (but also
evening).

Thanks, Tanya.

Excellent insight which led to a real opening up with the patient.
(anorexia and feeling out of control).

Yes IMO.
Some people eat MORE when upset - others do not eat at all.
It should help differentiate a simillimum IMO, thus worth looking for a
rubric.
