Anorexia or loss of appetite refers to a decreased desire to eat, which can lead to reduced food intake and, potentially, malnutrition. It's important to distinguish between anorexia as a symptom (loss of appetite) and Anorexia Nervosa, which is a serious psychological eating disorder. Here, we'll focus on anorexia as a symptom.
Causes of Anorexia (Loss of Appetite)
- Emotional Stress or Anxiety: Mental stress, depression, or anxiety can significantly reduce the desire to eat.
- Illness or Infection: Viral or bacterial infections, especially those affecting the digestive system, can cause temporary loss of appetite.

- Medications: Certain drugs, such as antibiotics, chemotherapy, or painkillers, can suppress appetite.
- Hormonal Imbalances: Conditions like hypothyroidism or other endocrine disorders can lead to reduced appetite.
- Gastrointestinal Issues: Conditions like gastritis, ulcers, or irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) can cause discomfort and loss of appetite.
- Aging: Elderly individuals may naturally experience a decline in appetite due to changes in metabolism and taste perception.
