Iv hurd they would put a tube down your nose!.!.!.who would do that!.!.!.does a physciatrist have a rightWww@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
Usually they will try to give u something to boost your appetite

If that fails and you still don't eat they will either start a IV witch is when they stick a needle in usually your arm and give you nutrients that way

Or

They will put a feeding tube down your nose into your stomach and feed you directly witch i can only assume is not nice!.

a psychiatrist is a M!.D Therefore i would guess he would be the one to start the iv and/or insert the feeding tube!.!.if thats what ur askingWww@Answer-Health@Com

They give you a drug!. It's a white liquid that you mix with a powder and drink it!. 17 grams of it, twice a day increases your appetite!.
*It doesn't ALWAYS have to be a tube!. That's in extreme cases!. For normal and most people with eating disorders, they just drug your until your appetite, metabolism, and digestive system all eventually return to normal!.
Hope this helps!. Take caree!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Yep they put a tube down your nose into your stomach!. They have the right because you are a medical danger to yourself (ie you could die if you continue not eating)!. Anytime, dealing with mental health, you are a danger to yourself you basically lose all your rights!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
