Dr. Bernard Seif answered

Specializes in Clinical Psychology

Nutritional: deficiencies can cause weakness, depression, leading to loss of appetite. Your doctor can check to make sure you are absorbing nutrition properly if your are eating well enough. Spectracell lab in Texas has a Micronutrient lab test that is excellent. Peace and good health.
