Loss of Appetite
An indicative symptom of a major depressive disorder is a significant change in your weight, i.e., gaining or losing about 5% or more in 30 days, while not trying to lose or gain at that period. In kids, it may appear as an inability to attain the expected weight gain. A persistent depressive disorder may include overeating or lack of appetite, but a significant change in your weight associated with the major depressive disorder may not be evident. [4]
