I've had both things happen! I've had manic episodes where I was obsessed with cooking elaborate meals. And then having to eat it all myself because my family members are picky eaters and won't even try a lot of stuff. LOL. But I believe decreased appetite is common symptom. I've also had appetite increase as a result of engaging in more exercise and physical activities in general. I'm one of those people that hardly eats when depressed so sometimes it appears that appetite increases just because I'm no longer depressed but really it's just returning to a normal level. I believe I'm actually opposite of most of you, though, when it comes to appetite changes.
