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)?
Would you rather be severely anorexic or morbidly obese?

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.
