Try small frequent meals then they aren't so overwhelming. Maybe she can meet with a dietitian at the hospital who can give her ideas of what to try to eat that are high in calories. I know the Culvers custard is high in calorie and very soothing. If it is indeed depression "causing" this, then first that needs to be treated in order to try and help this. Maybe she can try Reglan (appetite stimulant). What about those nutritional drinks? If she refuses to go into the hospital, maybe they can set up home tube feeds so she doesn't have to go to the hospital?
Good luck.
