When i was about 8 years old, i didn't really have an appetite?
When I was about 7 or 8, I did not have an appetite. My family would always have to ask me if I ate because I wouldn't eat otherwise. My parents took me to a doctor who apparently prescribed me drugs to give me an appetite. Is this type of thing common in young children? Any thoughts?
Edit: I'm asking out of curiosity. As human beings we all have to eat to survive, correct? Our bodies allow us to experience hunger in order to make sure we receive what is needed to survive. If true, why did I not experience this feeling as a child? Is this common in children and if so, any ideas on what it might have been? Thanks
