Considering how often depression leads to obesity I wonder how many are getting a double wammy?

I wouldn't be surprised either. There are many ways to deal with stress and depression, but all to often food and alcohol will come up.

For me it was alcohol. At least there is a very strong link between alcohol and my mood.

Just a few drinks and I feel sad and anxious for a couple of days. My mood recovers by staying abstinent for one or two weeks after drinking alcohol. My solution is to avoid alcohol as much as I can.

I assumed it was in the study, but in real life there would be many suffering the negatives of both.
