Doctors are trying to help this boy who has lost 35 pounds since losing the sensation of the need to eat and drink.
Medical Mystery: The boy who won't eat - CBS News
I wonder if this boy's condition has anything in common with anorexia. When someone stops eating or drinking completely, it distorts the mental need to stop eating and drinking. The physical need still remains, but the mental need overrides that.
I hope doctors can help this child soon, especially if his father is accurate that it's really the first case in the world of its kind.
