Symptom of depression

Like most in the world, many here are uninformed about depression. One symptom
is overeating, and eating junk, although some eat less when depressed. Those
who eat less are usually in an acute, temporary depression, such as when first
coping with a break-up, death of other negative shock. Mine is a more or less
life-long depression. Many with untreated depression are overweight or smoke
to try to keep weight down. As long as I'm not medically overweight or look
bad enough that clothes don't look decent, I won't put any more of the little
energy I have to try to "diet". Sherry, 5'8" at 163
