I have to say that I feel very fortunate that I do not suffer from depression. I get moody once in a blue moon, but it is short lasting and not a deep down depression.

However, I just wanted to say, Liz, that this is very perceptive of you, and I really think you are onto something. Scientists have figured out so much about the human body, but they have 10x more to learn yet. I personally think that there is a definite link, in fact, probably lots of links, between weight and depression for many, many people.

Great thread...I am curious to see what others have to say.
