Tag: Forgetting to eat

According to research, stress triggers the body’s fight-or-flight response, temporarily suppressing appetite as the body focuses on immediate survival. For many, constantly forgetting to eat isn't just a sign of a busy schedule but a deeper physiological or psychological issue that deserves attention.

According to studies, stimulant ADHD medications can cause significant appetite suppression in some individuals, with many people reporting reduced feelings of hunger during the day when the medication is most active. The primary mechanism is the medication's effect on neurotransmitters that regulate appetite and satiety signals in the brain.
