    There MUST be a treatment for them.. either some sensation or hormone blocker because there is a hormone that causes hunger too. Apparently its also possible to become desensitized to that hormone.

    In the 80s, many people used prescription, amphetamine-based appetite suppressants. As it turned out, as a diet, it was way more damaging than efficient on the long term, but the molecules do exist. I don't understand why science can't come up with some effective and inocuous appetite suppressant to help patients with PWS. I'm surely being naive, and hunger is only part of the problem of course, but I'd like to understand why this is not possible, I mean it would help a lot, wouldn't it?

      ​@@Robohazradit's probably a problem of having to take a chemical every day, from toddlerdom onwards, all their lives. As we all know, most medicines have side effects, and prolonged use brings its own problems, including tolerance levels meaning a constantly increasing dose.
      It would have to be pretty strong to start with.
      If research is money led, there are so many type 2 diabetics, pharmaceutical companies are probably queuing up to be the first to produce a decent appetite suppressant that can be used for many years without side effects!
      As the problem is rooted in a faulty hypothalamus with PWS, there is no guarantee that any appetite suppressant that works on a normal hypothalamus, would work anyway.

    HINT: sounds like a chronic lack of zinc. if u dont have enough zinc in your body, your leptin (saity) levels are low, hence the chronic hunger.
