Hi lybrate-user, I hope you're dong fine. If doctor has prescribed you apetamin he certainly knows what he's doing. But to gain weight you need to eat properly and grow your appetite. Im curious to know what are your thyroid levels and free and total testosterone are like? Because at the age of 20 you should be happy and cheerful. Please get a health check up done (Including Free & Total Testosterone, Cortisol, TSH, T3 & T4) You might be suffering from hyperthyroidism which can lead to fatigue, depression, weight loss and unable to weight gain, eating whatever you feel like but still not able to gain weight, appetite loss. There can be also another reasons like your lifestyle, stress issues, sleep etc. The key factor to gain weight and overcome depression is to exercises which will release GH, Testosterone and Dopamine (These hormones are responsible for muscle gain not just weight gain, overcome depression, makes you feel euphoric and happy, boost up your confidence level etc) with this you need to be particular about your diet and eat smartly not alot of food. Anyone can google what to eat and what not to eat but only few dietitian knows how to optimize hormones to give someone a healthy life. If you're serious about transforming yourself and want to over come depression, you can connect with me and Ill be glad to assist you.
