Hi,
thanks for using health care magic.
Stress or depression is usually associated with disturbance in apetite. 90% of depressed patients have loss of apetite but in atypical depression, There may be an increase in apetite and sleep.
You should also rule thyroid disturbances as it is known to have these symptoms also.
Yous hould consult psychiatrist for detailed evaluation.
Meanwhile you can try stress management and relaxation techniques like yoga, meditation or self motivation.
I hope you will be fine soon
