A member asked:
Can you suggest how to get food down while suffering from depression?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Options: If your depression is severe enough that you are losing a lot of weight and cannot eat much, you should see your doctor. Antidepressant medication can take some time to take affect. Drinking ensure/ boost supplement shakes will help give you some calories or even a milkshake. There are also some medications (even antidepressants) that can increase your appetite.
