Depression and Appetite

[Jason Cross]

Coach Robert,

A friend of mine started on SSNLP. My friend is a very underweight male, and perfect candidate for gomad (5'9" 132lbs.) He told me that his depression is getting in the way of eating enough calories. He is on antidepressants. He's gained about 2 lbs since starting, but building sustainable progress is going to take extra effort with this guy. Fighting a lifetime of under eating and depression won't be easy.

Is there any tips or tricks for increasing appetite among those with depression who are on anti depressants?

I'm sorry to hear about your friend. Has he had his testosterone checked?

So sad to hear about your friend brother. Tell your friend to take care of his levels of testosterone.
