IN THE UNITED STATES--48 percent of kids
between the ages of two and nineteen fall into the 85th and 95th percentile on the Body Mass Index
which means they are identified as obese
In 2004, the World Health Report showed that depression was the leading cause of disability in the world.
Many people who are obese are also depressed

The Question:Does depression cause a person to gain
weight or does gaining weight cause depression?
Whatever the cause, depression in young people who are obese makes it even harder for them to adjust to their social situation, and they will likely become even more depressed.
This is a harmful cycle that needs to be studied well so young people can get the help they need.

The Center for Disease Control reports:Forty-three percent of adults with depression
were obese. At every age, women with depression were
more likely to be obese than women without depression.
The number of adults with obesity rose as the depressive symptoms increased

Treatment Doctors also are trying to figure out how to
treat both conditions for good results. Treating depression is easier than treating
obesity. So, it is recommended that depression be treated early, and in young people, as soon as possible.
A team approach is best—with a nutritionist, medical doctor and counseling, along with anti-depressants
