- Hi, Welcome to Health care magic forum.
Your daughter aaged 16 years was diagnosed with juvenile arthritis, by a rheumatologist. Recently gain weight, and involuntary shaking.
She had a real disease, and confirmed, and she has suffered. There is possibility of developing the fear.
She had weight gain, and it is a fact, rest is the involuntary movements of the body, it is to be confirmed by a neurologist.
If these diseases are excluded by the specialists and symptoms are still persisting, we can confirm it as hypochondriac.
If diagnosis is confirmed, treatment is assurance by the doctors, and family members that she didn't have any disease.
I advise you to consult a psychiatrist for diagnosis and treatment.
Wishing her a comfortable life. Thank you.
