What causes loss of appetite, and how can it be treated? - #14799
I’ve been experiencing loss of appetite recently, and it’s been affecting my eating habits and overall energy. I don’t fully understand what’s causing it or how to regain my appetite. What causes loss of appetite, and how does it relate to physical or mental health issues? I read that it can be caused by conditions like stress, depression, or even infections—how do these factors affect the body’s hunger signals? Are there medical conditions, like thyroid disorders or digestive issues, that also lead to a reduced appetite? I also want to know how loss of appetite can be treated. Are there appetite stimulants or medications that can help, or do lifestyle changes like improved nutrition or stress management work better? How do I know when it’s necessary to see a doctor for loss of appetite? If anyone has experienced loss of appetite, what helped improve your appetite? Did changes in diet, lifestyle, or treatment help, or did you need medical intervention?
