Obesity can result in poor self-image, low self-esteem and social isolation, all components leading to depression, with many experts in agreement that losing excess weight and consuming a healthy diet may help as part of an overall treatment for depression.
Depression is a mental illness that can be costly and debilitating to sufferers. This disorder has the ability to adversely affect the course and outcome of common chronic conditions, such as arthritis, asthma, cardiovascular disease, cancer and diabetes. Depression also can result in increased work absenteeism, short-term disability, and decreased productivity.
As Everydayhealth reports, Studies have shown that obesity and depression tend to feed off of each other in a vicious, self-destructive cycle and that patients that suffer with obesity are approximately 25 percent more likely to experience a mood disorder like depression.
