Practo user, Poor appetite along with long standing history of illness points to continuity of illness with worsening now. If she continues you to not eat she will need admission. Further comment on the diagnosis can be made only on detailed evaluation. Consult psychiatrist asap for treatment.

She needs help. Stopping medication without the supervision of a doctor can have adverse effects. Pls get her to see a doctor & also get her emotional support in the form of counselling.
