HI
Thanks for using healthcare magic
Antidepressant never effects on weight. In her case, weight lose may be due to depression. I think, she has chronic depression and in that case, she needs combination of antidepressants. You can also try some relaxation exercise and life style modification technique. She could try CBT and that would definitely help her. In case, you need further help, you can ask.
Thanks
