I live in the northeast of the United States and my aunt lives down in Florida so I don't get to see her that often. She has annorexia which her sister died from last year which resulted in her having depression. No one in my family talks to her except for me. I was wondering if anyone had any tips on helping her even though we have such a physical distance from one another.

My teenage daughter has always been very picky but in the last year and a half, it’s like pulling teeth getting her to eat. She just doesn’t have an appetite. I suspect the causes of the almost zero appetite are depression and anxiety, made worse by lockdown. I don’t think it is anorexia because she has always been below average weight for her height and would most certainly be the thinnest girl I have ever known. I have read that the worst thing you can do to get an anorexic to eat is to keep asking them to eat. I suspect the same for her, even though I don’t think it is anorexia. Any ideas on how to get a teen to eat and gain weight in a healthy manner? (Other than getting professional help for anxiety and depression, which I’m already doing).
