Your Body Is Speaking
You have no appetite. Not because you just ate — but because your body has stopped asking for food. The meal in front of you triggers nothing. No craving, no salivation, no anticipation. Some meals you push ahead of you for hours; others you skip entirely. Not from conviction, not from a conscious decision — the hunger is simply not there.
From a medical standpoint, loss of appetite can have many causes: infections, medications, hormonal shifts, psychological strain. The psychosomatic perspective asks a different question: what does it mean when your body simply switches off the most fundamental of all needs — the need to nourish itself? Why does your system refuse what it needs to survive?
