As you might already know (I didn't mean to be condescending at all), 5-HTP stands for 5-Hydroxytryptophan, which is a precursor to Serotonin (therefore its antidepressant/ mood/ sleep/ regulation).
I didn't expect that it will help increase your appetite though, because it is actually an appetite suppressant...also there is no evidence that it is more effective than existing antidepressants. I have not taken it myself but by all means try it, different people react differently to meds... (what a cliche :P)...
