The Bizarre Case Of A PICA Patient | Chicago

Aeroplane pilot is admitted to Chicago Med with worrying symptoms but not much can be found until Dr. Charles finds neurological signs of depression. Upon further analysis, he finds his patient to be a sufferer of Pica.
Season 2 Episode 18 "lesson Learned"
Dr. Halstead makes quick and difficult decisions when tending to a patient who was also his mentor in medical school. Dr. Rhodes performs a risky surgery on a young boy as an alternative to amputating his arm. Meanwhile, Dr. Charles and Dr. Reese tend to a patient who denies having suicidal tendencies. Also, Maggie takes an aggressive route when training a new nursing student and Dr. Reese continues to mourn the loss of Jason Wheeler.

PICA is dangerous, but also somewhat easy to deal with. Once diagnosed, the treatment is mainly about willpower and most PICA patients manage very well after being confronted with the hazards of their behaviour. But, sadly, there are those who cannot stop consuming the non-nutritional or hazardous substances. I know of an incident where a woman thought she was suffering from PICA, when she couldn't stop eating chalk. Turns out she was pregnant, as well as suffering cardiac tamponade and PICA. She is still dealing with her PICA, as of today.

[@Waterlily6519]

@@Liliththelizard A lot of people may have urges like that. I went through a phase where I chewed and swallowed toilet paper, but I don't anymore. If I need something to chew on, chewing gum and bubblegum are my main saviours when it comes to calming the urge to chew something.

[@unalikerose]

I used to suffer m PICA I couldn't stop eating ice or frozen vegetables. On top of that I kept falling asleep randomly. I had some blood tests turns out I had anemia and was put on super strong iron tablets for months ... I'm ok now but, every now and then I get a wee craving for ice. When you are in the grip of PICA there are no words to describe just how delicious it is or just how strong the compulsion is to eat it... you just find yourself eating it without realizing, even waking up in the wee small hours of the morning.

[@keerthanaraja367]

I am really glad to hear that you are better now my friend recently also was diagnosed with PICA and it isn't very serious but I hope she gets better soon.

[@MrShroomed]

@@cloudymew Oral fixation not ASMR. If you feel the need to always be chewing or have something in your mouth you develop oral fixation. Usually happens to smokers who are too used to having a lit or unlit cigar in their mouth and it's usually easily treatable with non harmful substances like gum ( or the nicotine gum for smokers ).

[@Mimi-cq4bg]

PICA is often seen in pregnant women. The theory is (or was) that the body is so starved for minerals, the women start sucking pennies and dirt. They said it was like a natural craving gone to the next step. For me, I was lucky. It was limes. 3 or 4 a day, pulp and all. The heartburn was surreal but I couldn't not eat them.

But also, if therapy, counselling and seeing a medical professional about mental health isn’t possible, or something that you’re comfortable with, looking for coping mechanisms online on websites like NHS etc could help you.

It can be linked very closely to anema, PICA I mean.

It's gotten better though and now I chew ice to cope which is the safest for sure hut some people have it really bad and it's scary

[@rachelcookie321]

I don’t have PICA but it reminded me of when I was a kid and I used to eat paper pretending it was chewing gum because I wasn’t allowed gum.

I used to have pica but eventually I grew out of it. I’d eat rubbers (erasers). Only a specific type though. Like it had to smell and feel a certain way or I wouldn’t eat it. But I think I went through about 5 ish rubbers over the course of a couple years. And that might not seems like a lot being they were small. But a child eating rubbers isn’t exactly a healthy or nutritious thing to do.
