Hello,

The treatment of weight loss and stress depends on the cause of the problem. In case the cause is correctable the psychotherapy can be the ultimate answer to your problem.

You can start taking cyproheptadine which stimulates appetite and helps you in regaining weight.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
