A member asked:
Unexplained weight loss? losing 30 pounds in a year span with no excerise or diet, is that normal? could it be anxiety?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes, it could.: first, rule out physical. Depression or anxiety both have the shared symptom of unexplained and undesired weight loss or gain. Something in your system is working overtime. Of course, it can certainly be related to other health problems. If the undesired loss of weight is a function of an ongoing low-grade emotional problem, an adult may benefit from asking, "Is something 'eating away' at me?"
