Pica is an eating disorder that involves eating items that are not considered edible. Moreover, these items do not contain significant nutritional value. Pica cravings are signs that the body is seeking additional nutrients. In these cases, vitamins, supplements, and a healthy diet can therefore correct pica. However, when no nutritional deficiency exists, it?s harder to pin down the causes of pica. Often, people with pica also have other mental health disorders, including schizophrenia and obsessive-compulsive disorder. In addition, pica symptoms sometimes increase when an individual is experiencing extreme stress and anxiety. Many pica eating disorders begin in childhood and relate to childhood experiences. As the person ages, they choose to eat non-food items that are connected to their childhood and their childhood home. Experts theorize that this type of pica may be caused by childhood trauma. I suggest you to consult a psychologist online. Take care.
