Depression and obesity or weight gain is nothing but two-way process or we can say that it is two faces of a single coin. Debates are still on to find out what causes what.

Scientific findings state that depression could lead to obesity. Appetite goes increasing if one is suffering with depression. It may be due the sufferer wants to divert his mind. Depression can decrease your rate of performing activities and bound you to sit idle and hence results in weight gain.

Second opinion states that obesity could lead to depression. People do receive negative comments and are made fun of for their extra pounds. This humiliation and heart burn can actually push them into the stage of depression. Obesity disables a person to enjoy various activities that makes him to stand away from the masses and in turn leads him to depression.

Whether the chicken came first or the egg came first may not be that important. This is an established fact that loosing your weight can be fruitful for you since it also lower down your level of anxiety and hence depression.

Thereafter you can improve the quality of your life and establish good relationships. Practicing weight loss programs do improve your inner personality as well and gives you sound confidence to stand in society. On the other hand, if you get failed in the program or the cycles of weight loss – weight gain can lead you with depression.

There is also justification where cases have been seen where people suffering with depression start loosing their health and hence body weight. Therefore resultant statement can be expressed that depression obviously does not make you fat. If it would be the reason of obesity then every body suffering with depression would have put on his body weight and vice versa can also be not ignored.
