signs/symptoms[edit]
Per all the sources, including this one, the later-onset forms (formerly CESD) can strike adults or older children. So things like failure to grow are relevant for CESD too, when non-infant kids have it. Jytdog (talk) 21:41, 21 June 2016 (UTC)
- I'd only argue that for adults the symptom would be weight loss, and for children it would "failure to grow" or "failure to thrive," as that's essentially a child's symptom exclusively. How about if we change it to that and use the NIH site as a source. It essentially says as much with "[children with] failure to thrive or adults with weight loss." --FeldBum (talk) 23:28, 21 June 2016 (UTC)
