The relationship between obesity and emotions in women

Women suffering from depressionYou can tell from the weight.
A study published in the March issue of the Journal of Pediatrics and Adolescent Medicine indicates that female patients with depression tend to be overweight.

The study, led by Dr. Anderson, a scholar at the Department of Nutrition at Tufts University in Boston, tracked 820 men and women (aged 9-18) and found that women with depression weighed 4.5-6.75 kg more than average, and the earlier they developed depression, the greater the weight gain.

It's possible that people with depression have low serotonin levels, which can affect their mood. Carbohydrates in food can increase serotonin levels, which is why people with depression are prone to overeating.

However, researchers did not find any change in men's weight as a result.

Anderson explained that women may be more likely than men to overeat when they are frustrated.

The study emphasizes that more rigorous investigations are needed to confirm the link between weight changes and depression, but these results will help doctors in treatment.Obesity.
