Hello i understand your concern regarding your changed style of eating habits.

If i were to be your treating doctor i would need more information regarding your symptoms for example, how has been your mood, energy and activity level, your interest in daily activities, also any changes in sleep habits? Any recent stress or change in life style?

As aversion towards food is one of the most common presentation of depression,you will need a detailed evaluation regarding it.

SSRI is the first choice for treatment in such conditions.How ever should be taken under the guidance of doctor.

Hope the answer has helped you
