  • Maybe it does make no difference, but it is at least a distinction worth making. I think it probably depends on the individual case.

    • I still consider the causes of a lot of obesity to be psychological, what else could it be:S?

      • Yes, but I'm NOT talking about causes. I'm talking about consequences of eating disorders.

        • Whaaa? Then how is depression not psychological, that's often a consequence of obesity.

          • Not a consequence of the obesity directly, but a consequence of how they are percieved by society DUE TO the obesity. In most cases the eating doesn't cause the depression, society does.

            I realise I am splitting hairs, but I thought it was worth mentioning.

            • I completely agree with that, but a obese person is more likely to become depressed because their lifestyle creates a hormonal imbalance, kinda like when you eat too much junk food and feel really groggy, just a lot worse.

              • Is that so? I've not actually heard that before. In that case, I might be willing to admit I might've misjudged this point a tad. I don't suppose you have an article of any kind (I'll probably comb the internet myself if you don't, so it's fine)?
