Can mental problem cause health problem?
Patient: My husband has mental health problems and will go for up to 6-8 weeks without eating properly,  he will only eat biscuits and drink only orange juice or milk.  He does not wash or go to toilet very often either, what are the health problems he is likely to have. Doctor: HiThanks for using healthcare magicIn his case, the chances of getting nutritional deficiency is very high. Better to get him admitted in a mental hospital and get him treated properly. That would help to avoid physical problem like nutritional deficiency, anemia, weight loss, underline infection due to poor hygiene etc.Thanks
