Currently having the opposite issue here Sheriff (my daughter's 9 now) - up tuntil 7 or 8 she was similarly extremely limited in what she would eat and we had to supplement vitamins because she didn't get enough of loads of things. There was a sudden shift and now she's inclined to eat more or less anything - and massively overeat if given the opportunity (and will get very upset about food being limited). She's started to gain weight so now it's a balancing act between making sure she stays interested in a varied diet, and not allowing her to over-eat.

My daughter has been on supplements to give her the vitamins she needs because of a restrictive diet from birth and she is still on them now in tablet form from boots instead of powder

Her weight like your daughter is also an issue because she eats crisp’s snacks junk food, so she has gained weight which is a concern
We went to a yearly medical appointment recently and her doctor and dietion raised concerns which as a parent I already knew

The thing is her weight has been pretty stable but in 2019 she became mental ill and lost a lot of weight but after being put on anti depresannts one of the side affects is weight gain

It’s a juggling act at best.

Newer generation SSRI tend to have less side effects than older ones1st and 2nd generations or TRA and SSRI. Depends what she was put on. But could also just be because her mood picked up so she ate more.

There's been lots of clinical trials and research around SSRI and weight gain although often floored because people take them, tend to feel better and then put on weight because they're feeling better rather than it being a cause of the SSRI

Was told from the start this anti depressant is linked to weight gain
She is also on an anti psychotic

Has she tried topiramate? It has anti-depressant, anti-seizure and anti-alcoholic effects (I’m not saying the latter two are your daughter at all but just for the sake of full context). One of the side-effects of that is weight loss (especially in the first year) and some people use it to counter-out the weight gain they get with some antidepressants. Might be something for her to think about.
