Depression

Picture
There is a great deal of overlap between depression and obesity. 
It is unclear if one causes the other, but certainly they are intertwined in many individuals. 
Weight loss is associated with improvement of depression in obese and overweight individuals. 
Evidence suggests a greater improvement in clinical depression is seen with greater weight loss and in younger individuals. 
 



Picture
Depression is also strongly linked to obesity-related comorbidities, such as arthritis, cancer, and diabetes.
