Do worried people eat more?

We all know the fact that every human being is composed of a meta-physical or psychological ‘soul’ sitting on the top of a biological ‘body’. There is constant interaction between the two systems and its complexity makes it difficult that nobody other than the Creator can decipher the interaction.

The below presented thought struck my mind few days back…I don’t know whether it is true always but the below lines argue that people tend to eat more when they are depressed.

Feeling happy or worried becomes a mere psychological feeling if it is short-lived. On the other hand, if the intensity of the feeling is medium, the effects spill over into the body as well. A happy person feels energy in his body parts while a sad person experiences frustrated muscles. The person eats less when feeling dejected for some time.

When the intensity of the feeling increases considerably, the effects are more pronounced in the ‘body’. People who are feeling worried for more weeks feel depressed and tend to eat lot more than regular quantity. Their frustrated muscles simply absorb/burn energy by consuming food.

People who eat a lot more can be tested for depression. Though it is not the only condition to test for depression, this along with already established other tests can substantiate the findings.

There is a common notion that people who are happy eat more but my argument is that people are depressed eat even more!
