We have been given an assignment in our MBA class in which we have been shown a picture of a very thin 6 year old child. We have been asked to list the possible reasons for his thin and frail structure.



I was just wondering whether stress could also cause a person to become thin? I have already listed the other possible reasons for his thin and frail structure. My psychology question is: Can stress cause a person to become thin?
