Study: Depression, obesity linked
Researchers have found new evidence that people who are obese may be more likely to become depressed and vice versa. In a review of other studies, investigators found that obese people may be more likely to become depressed because they experience poor health and are dissatisfied with their appearance. Also, researchers found that depressed people may be more likely to become obese because of hormone and immune system changes that are triggered by depression. These changes may make it more difficult for people to take care of themselves and adhere to diet and exercise plans.
