Yes, anxiety can cause both a loss of appetite and overeating in some people.
Yes, some may respond to stress with an increased appetite and excessive eating, while others may notice a diminished appetite.
Yes, it can, but it can affect it to both increase or decrease. For some it increases and for others decreases. It is more likely to be the latter if there is some depression. Jack L. Underwood, MD
