Treatment for pica may vary by patient and suspected cause (e.g., child, developmentally disabled, pregnant, or psychogenic) and may emphasize psychosocial, environmental and family-guidance approaches; iron deficiency may be treatable through iron supplements or through dietary changes. An initial approach often involves screening for, and if necessary, treating any mineral deficiencies or other comorbid conditions.[1] For pica that appears to be of psychogenic cause, therapy and medication such as SSRIs have been used successfully.[28] However, previous reports have cautioned against the use of medication until all non-psychogenic causes have been ruled out.[29]
