A member asked:

When should i call my doctor for a lack of appetite?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Depends: Decreased appetite can occur from depression, anxiety, stress, GI problems as well as more serious items. Most physicians will want to see patients back if they are older patients with weight loss, progressive discomfort, or decreasing function as well as children and pregnant women.
