My daughter developed anxiety and doesn’t eat as much as she used to. Should I be concerned?

For 2 months now, my 9 yr old daughter’s been dealing with anxiety due to a phobia of vomiting in public. This is due to a bad flu she had a few months ago. She was traumatized by this event where she vomited approx. 30 times. Anyway, since then, her appetite has greatly diminished. There’s no way I can get her checked by her doctor because of her anxiety. Is this normal? We’re seeing a psychologist on a regular basis.

No that’s not normal. You need to get your daughter help and get her to eat. If she doesn’t, she’ll develop a lot of problems that will be a lot worse than vomiting.
