Depression

Depression causes a lot of us to gain weight.
I saw an interesting quote this morning:
“depression is a symptom, not a disease”
This fits in with my assessment that anti-depressants are like a cast for a broken leg
If the leg doesn’t heal, you don’t simply put another cast on!
You may indeed put another cast on, but you also go looking for the reason that the leg is not healing, and the expectation is that when you find that reason and treat it, you will not need the cast any more
Depending on the reason, the leg may continue to be weak, may continue to need support, agreed, but generally not a full cast
If this is an issue in your weight loss journey, and you would like to do something different, let me know!
