Default Fast Food and Depression
The study sample involved 8,964 participants, all of whom have never been diagnosed with depression and have never taken any medication for depression.

After a six month assessment, 493 became diagnosed with depression or began taking antidepressant medications — which have previously been shown to actually make depression even worse.

The current results support what the SUN project, a lifestyle tracking program, have found in 2011 where a 42 percent increase in depression risk was found with those consuming fast food.

Additionally, the increase in depression risk was just as high with the consumption of baked goods and junk food.

I hardly ever eat fast food. I can't remember the last time I did. But I never noticed that it made me feel depressed. Maybe made me fatter and then that would make me upset....but not depressed.

If anyone takes away my fast food, that will not only depress me, but it will make me very very very very very very very very very very VERY angry!

Dont mess with my fast food. It makes me happy!

Now I'm hungry for McDonald's.

That's been the best thing about not driving anymore. I don't (can't) go to Burger King of McDonald's whenever the craving strikes. And since I've not had either for so long I don't get the cravings anymore. It was rough right at first but it was so worth it. Now, I'd probably explode if I ate that stuff!

indeed! bodies were meant to be nourished not asked to digest junk masking as nourishment!

I'd be depressed if I was asked do something repeatedly that I was never intended to do.
