Is Depression Causing Your Weight Problems..?
Dear Reader,
These troublesome burdens often come together... some people gain weight when depressed, while others lose it to an unhealthy level. What you weigh and how you feel appear to be linked in ways science is just beginning to understand. Experts do know that depression and weight troubles are an unhealthy combo that can have you feeling trapped and miserable. On the plus side, treat one and you'll be better able to treat the other.
A March 2010 review published in the Archives of General Psychiatry of 15 studies linked obesity to a greater risk of depression, and vice versa. Which comes first?
Even the experts can't say for sure agrees Leslie Heinberg, PhD who is director of the Bariatric and Metabolic Institute at the Cleveland Clinic. What they do know is that depression has lots of symptoms that make obesity worse. Things like appetite disturbances, lack of energy or motivation.
In 2009 University of Alabama at Birmingham researchers found that depressed people gained weight faster than those who were not depressed. The bulk of the added weight was around the waist, which is not good. You've heard that fat in the belly has been named a factor for type 2 diabetes, heart disease and hypertension. Depression has its own risks including suicide, social isolation, anxiety and addictions to drugs or alcohol.
It's a vicious cycle according to psychiatrist James Gordon MD, author of Unstuck: Your Guide to the Seven Stage Journey out of Depression. Foods that are high in sugar and fat make you feel better for a while, but the good feelings have you eating more, which ends up making you feel bad about yourself and your efforts. This brings a deepening of depression, more eating and more weight gain. Breaking the cycle is a challenge.
After all, if you're depressed it's harder to get out of bed... harder to get going or be active. And you're certainly not interested in making the effort to prepare healthy meals. Treating a patient's depression is almost always the primary focus of medical treatment, unless the problem is an eating disorder that causes bingeing, and then this condition must be addressed first.
Loss of pleasure is a hallmark of depression, and in severe cases weight loss is the result of supreme disinterest in food according to Gordon. Depression can also come with eating disorders according to Heinberg's Cleveland Clinic practice where he sees patients with anorexia nervosa who are often depressed. In these cases the brain gets starved and patients develop symptoms that meet the criteria for depression. Once fed and on the road to recovery, the depression lifts.

Is Depression Causing Your Weight Problems..? Continued...
Treatment of depression isn't focused on a single thing... talk therapy and medications
are important, but so is exercise, a healthy diet and making other lifestyle
changes. Gaining weight is a common side effect of many antidepressant medications,
but exercise can help counter this drug related weight gain, even more so then
what you eat. Walking is one of the best ways to get active.
Gordon, founder and director of the Center for Mind Body Medicine in Washington,
D.C. also recommends taking a break from the fast food and unhealthy eating and
make the time to cook a meal for yourself. This will help you get engaged in
your own care... feel good about doing things for yourself. Meditation is also
very beneficial to mind and body.
Once depression is under control, weight issues can be addressed. Remember that
treatment will take time, but don't get discouraged if you don't see results
right away. You need a comprehensive program that addresses all aspects of your
problem and gets you ready for the road back to health.
To your good health,
Kirsten Whittaker
