Appetite stimulation

Appetite stimulation involves using medications or strategies to increase a person's desire to eat. This can be necessary for individuals who have lost their appetite due to illness, aging, or medical treatments, helping them maintain proper nutrition and strength. Stimulants may work by affecting brain signals that control hunger, improving mood or energy levels, or addressing underlying factors that suppress appetite. The goal is to support adequate food intake, which is vital for recovery, overall health, and well-being. Proper assessment ensures that appetite stimulants are used safely and effectively under medical supervision.
