Hello,
Welcome to HCM.
Please explain him low weight is not a disease.
It may be due to his genetic structure.
Handicapped is also not a shameful thing.
It's his destiny and no need to worry as he is more special then us.
For depression please consult your psychiatrist or counselor for guidance and help.
You can take help from elders in your family because this is very minor thing.
Certain things are there for weight gain.
Take 3 meals and 2 snacks a day.
Increase your calory intake daily then average.
Take breads with peanut butter, jam or cheese.
Take starchy vegetables potatoes, peas, corn or beets.
Take dense fruit like bananas, pears, apples, pineapple or dried fruit.
Take milk and dairy products, and juices more.
Take oils and nutritional supplements for weight gain.
Avoid margarine which is bad for heart as it contains trans fat.
Take more proteins from peas, beans, eggs, soya, meat etc.
Start muscle training from trained trainers with weight lifting.
Also consult your doctor for help and guidance.
