Talk to your parents: About your symptoms. The bottom line is that your depression needs to be addressed. Often once depression improves, appetite improves. Are you currently seeing a psychiatrist or psychologist? Ask your parents to read this. Take care.

Dep. ; other causes : Most people live and/or die by the rule of three. 3 minutes without air, 3 hours without heat, 3 days without water and 3 weeks without food. Eating disorder--anorexia, bulimia and associated psychiatric problems need to have the person seek medical evaluation. Depression is not the only cause but is a consideration. Get medical help to restart to eat.
