depression dosen’t make everyone fat. It can do the excat opposite, like a girlfriend i had in sixth grade she wasn’t the smallest thing on the earth but wasn’t fat ether. she got mixed up with some wrong people that called her all sort of fat names. she became stressed out and depressed. she started dieting and trying to make her self skinnyer to be appercated. next thing i knew iwas visting her the hospital for eating to little and having suicidal thoughts.
so say it’s not the biggest factor, it dose cause alot of undereating for some and myself had the same problem in the past.
Thank you for your comment isaac isbell. Yes, you are right some with clinical depression suffer from severe loss of appetite. Although, not all people suffering from clinical depression become overweight, they still are at a higher risk to develop other health problems. Untreated depression is a huge health problem in this country, responsible for loss of life from suicide.
I’m sorry to hear about your friend, but I’m glad she is getting treatment. And if you find yourself in a “funk” that just doesn’t seem to go away, please don’t be ashamed to ask for help.
