Weight loss increases the risk of depression

Losing weight is the obsession of us women, many of us lose weight is to lose those famous five pounds heavier, but for some the problem is much bigger and means 30 to 40 pounds to lose. In cases of obesity, weight loss is very long and involves many steps, as well as those to be tackled at the physical level, they are also at a psychological level and it is this second phase, very delicate, which is too often underestimated, which is why in the face of large weight loss often creeps depression.

Depression is a very insidious disease, sufferers often can not even recognize it, think about those around us, the mind is very weak and sometimes does not take much to create imbalances that can undermine our well-being. Obesity is often accompanied with depression, the reasons may be several, such as the gathering in front of a huge mountain to climb, it is normal to lose heart, but a cause is also to be found in medications that are used for weight loss than that weight loss can lead to sadness and even suicidal.

Researchers have shown that if weight loss is made only with activity and low-calorie diet, without using drugs, the risk of depression is much lower.
