See your doctor: Most of the conditions that cause loss of appetite are serious and need to be evaluated and treated by your doctor asap. They include liver inflammations (hepatitis), cancers (pancreatic, colon, stomach, liver, ovarian), depression or anxiety, eating disorders, even side effects of medications or drugs.
