Abstract:
Current classificatory systems subsume the psychogenic vomiting as a
form of eating disorder, in spite of several obvious differences. Given the clinical
presentation, vomiting associated with psychological factors as a solitary
symptom merits clinical and research attention. Methods: The paper discusses a
case with psychogenic vomiting presenting to child and adolescent psychiatric
clinic at a tertiary care hospital, All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS)
New Delhi, India. Results: It adds to the scarce reports on vomiting of
psychogenic origin, and adds a newer perspective on diagnostic issues.
Conclusion: Psychogenic vomiting might warrant recognition as an entity
independent from eating disorders. ASEAN Journal of Psychiatry, Vol. 18 (1):
