Depression and Anxiety – can they be linked?
I just met a beautiful woman who is battling depression due to being quite overweight. This beautiful person touched my heart, and I thought it important to look more into this subject hence this post.
Depression can lead to Overeating and weight gain. Obesity can lead to overwhelming sadness. Learn how to break the cycle. Many years of research have shown no clear, one-way connection between obesity and depression.
Instead, studies have shown that the two can be linked and feed off one another. The thing is with being very overweight causes poor self-image and low self-esteem and can even cause social isolation.
Obese persons can be ostracized, stereotyped and even discriminated against, all known contributors to depression.
If one is overweight, it can cause depression, and when depressed and sad, some take comfort in food, and this exasperates the problem, so it becomes a vicious circle.
I know personally about this because I was in this same place for a long time.
However, thankfully, after medical help, I realized that life is precious and goes by so quickly that we need to live in the present and enjoy every moment.
Improve your life
The best thing I did to improve my life was to lose weight, don’t think for a moment that I have the perfect body because there is no such thing as perfection.
But to feel better about one’s body increases your confidence and self-worth, and most importantly, one has so much more energy as the body becomes healthier and stronger.
