Loss of mother: I'm sorry to hear of your loss. Antidepressants do not typically cause weight loss, but wellbutrin (bupropion) is less likely to cause weight gain than others. Psychotherapy would also be very important for working through a loss like this, so i hope this is part of your treatment. Be well.

DEPRESSION: For your depressive symptoms, 1st have a physical exam to rule out a physical problem. Please consult with a Clinical Psychologist for psychotherapy to help you with ZOOM.com sessions. Research indicates with psychotherapy you can change & find better coping mechanisms. If there is a biological reason you are depressed please see a Psychiatrist for medication. Exercise can be a helpful addition.
