\n

Lack or loss of appetite; possible causes include depression, alcoholism or other drug dependence, fever, and disorders of the alimentary canal (e.g., liver cancer).<\/p>\n

\n

Loss of appetite. Anorexia is seen in depression, malaise, the onset of fevers and illnesses, disorders of the alimentary tract (especially the stomach), and alcoholism and drug addiction (especially cocaine). Many medicines and medical procedures have the undesired side effect of causing the suppression of appetite.<\/p>\n

\n

The lack of a physiological feeling of hunger; also, a severe and potentially fatal eating disorder marked by self-imposed starvation, leading to a shortage of energy and vital nutrients needed for normal body functioning.
