1. Gradual decrease in appetite
One of the most common and least understood signs is the gradual loss of appetite. It doesn't happen suddenly. Portions become smaller, favorite foods cease to arouse interest, and eating becomes a mechanical act rather than a necessity.

Constantly pressuring the person to eat can cause unnecessary anxiety. In many cases, sharing time and conversations is more valuable than forcing them to eat.
