Description
Jinyue Xue and co-authors study loss of appetite in teenagers with major depression, in work published in 2025. Appetite loss is common in depression, but its links to other symptoms in teens were little studied, as were differences between boys and girls. The team surveyed patients at eight hospitals over one year.
The study covered 364 teens and used standard scales for depression, sleep, and related problems. About seven in ten patients had lost appetite, and the share was higher in girls. Appetite loss linked to gender, body mass, depression severity, and poor sleep. In girls, further factors stood out in the analysis. The authors say appetite should be checked as part of teen depression care, with care shaped by gender.
