People typically think of the "big three" eating disorders: anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, and binge eating disorder. Many people aren't aware that there are other clinically recognized eating and nutrition disorders. One of these diagnoses is pica, a difficult and poorly understood condition.
Pica is defined as the compulsive and insatiable intake of nonfood items (such as paint or string) that are not developmentally appropriate for the child's age. Children, pregnant women, and individuals with mental problems are more likely to experience it.
Pica is common in children with developmental issues, complicating therapy and management. Nonfood substances consumed as part of a culturally sanctioned and/or socially normal behavior, such as eating clay for therapeutic purposes, are excluded from an accurate Pica diagnosis. Yes, non-food objects are consumed by the majority of young newborns. This is an age-appropriate technique for babies to investigate and grasp their surroundings. In addition, it is fairly uncommon for toddlers and young children to eat soil or sand. When the behavior persists despite attempts to redirect or restrain it, a Pica diagnosis may be sought.
This peculiar desire for non-living, non-nutritive objects is a strange occurrence. However, I hope that this Book PICA AND SICKLE CELL DISEASE acts as a wake-up call, revealing to parents, and warriors alike that this is a problem that some warriors encounter. It does not make people insane or strange.
