i caretake my ex-husband who is schizophrenic. i notice he can consume huge, and i mean huge, quantities of food and never feel full. he was on the heavy side and now his weight is perfect, i don't want him to feel like i'm denying him food or anything, but before he got sick he didn't eat like this.
any thoughts on this or suggestions...i'd welcome everyone's input. thank you.

Some antipsychotic meds can make a person feel hungry and cause weight gain.

As long as his weight is healthy I would not worry about it too much. It may be the medication making him hungry. I would keep healthy foods around so at least if he does eat a lot it will be good things
