What body system would this disorder be categorized as?

What body system would this disorder be categorized as?I am doing a project on disorders and diseases. I have to put what body system (ex: digestive system, nervous system, circulatory system etc.) the disease affects.

So, one of the disorders that I am doing is pica. This is the desire to eat non-food substances that aren't fit for human consumption. So for example, some pregnant women lack nutrients, and some may even have a desire to eat dirt or other objects.

So.....what body system would this be categorized under?

That would be either a psychological disorder or a gastro-intestinal one.

I'd say GI since it affects nutritional status.

Know better? Leave your own answer in the comments! Facts and information on the human digestive system including how it works and related digestion health problems.
