I was suffering from a disorder since childhood in which I don't use to like food, the regular meals were not pleasant, I don't like it but I liked a few items and some fruits. I used to be underweight and often fall sick, but height growth was normal, after long-suffering and seeing many doctors, I met a psychiatrist who gave me olanzapine that medicine is elixir to me, I liked food now and gained some weight, now the problem is that I have 2.5-year-old son who doesn't eat like the other kids, he doesn't like everything not even sweets and fruits, I feel like my problem has been inherited to my son, does my son need a medication like olanzapine or anything, should I consult to a psychiatrist, please suggest.
