Does fast food really cause depression?

[Anonymous No.11938649]

I do all of these things except for the fat and im not depressed so I dont know

[Anonymous No.11938652]

It doesn't help, your diet plays a large part in how you feel

[Anonymous No.11938653]

Yes it can,many missing components could/will cause depressive states, much like porn drains your dopamine levels.

No wonder you are depressed I would be too if I drank any of those.

Depression doesn't "go away" it's not something that can be cured only temporarially treated so no not really.

[Anonymous No.11938926]

While you can, sure, most people's depression would be cured or greatly improved by diet and exercise.

I don't smoke weed, work out five days a week, am fit, cook whole and fresh food, only drink once a week or so when I go out with friends, don't smoke and only watch porn like 3 times a week and yet I still feel like something is missing anons

I think I'm just a neurotic perfectionist. I went nearly 85% of my life out of shape and receiving very little physical validation from other people so when I decided to change that and get fit and fresh and actually started to be noticed the way I wanted to be I've been hooked ever since. I gotta learn to do it for myself and not for external validation I guess.

Often a side effect of depression. Alcohol and lack of exercise are really bad causes of depression for me. I also wish I had some friends

[Anonymous No.11940735]

Your intestines have been proven to be linked directly to your nervous system. If there is dysfunction in the gut then it will happen in the brain too. Fast food can sit inside of you for multiple years.

I play vidya games, eat fast food, jack it to p0rn0, drink, smoke, and browse /ck/. I’m happy about 95% of the time.

I think socializing, hobbies, keeping busy, and exercise really go a long way for folks w/o clinical depression

[Anonymous No.11941239]

>>11941228
I find a lot of people think they're happy but it's just that it has been so long since they've really been happy that they don't know what it feels like.

[Anonymous No.11941252]

None of those things CAUSE depression, their use is typically a symptom that usually will exacerbate it

I mean, it has nothing to do with first world problems, or being understood.

Depression is a chemical imbalance in your brain, not an emotion like sadness or something.

bless you, good sir, for the (You) but I genuinely feel like I did when I was a child, only with a few adult bumps thrown in along the way

Reflect on the positive aspects of your life, try to better yourself every day with a focus on your achievents, and look at problems as opportunities to overcome challenges. This way of thinking won’t come naturally and involves much effort up front, but this way of thinking eventually becomes part of you. Smile and the world smiles back at you, bud

I think he was suggesting that the number of people that are depressed is higher than a lot of people think.

I can sympathize with what he said though; I've been severely depressed for more than half of my life, and I can't say for sure whether or not I've been happy in the last 15 years.

This. Gut microbia is real. Eating fast food is like nuking your gut biome.

probably both the internet has been as much of a curse as it has been a blessing in a lot of ways. There's still a distinct difference between having a depressive episode and having clinical depression

i notice that my mood completely changes when i'm eating vegetables vs eating pasta all the time. veggies make you happy

[Anonymous No.11942052]

>>11942048
No, veggies make you happy.

[Anonymous No.11942060]

>>11942052
yeah probably because i'm not legitimately depressed. i get into major depressive episodes though. idk maybe just the act of cooking is what does it. pasta keeps you up at night and makes your poop come out sputtering. i definitely recommend eating healthier to people who are going through it.

[Anonymous No.11942063]

>>11942060
Maybe try eating more than just only veggies or only pasta like an autist.

[Anonymous No.11942072]

>>11942063
i don't literally eat one or the other all the time you autist. get sad -> be lazy -> pasta/bread/potatoes is easy as fuck so you eat more of it.

[Anonymous No.11942088]

You implied that.
>pour frozen veggies in bowl

Ok you're just dumb, not autistic

you seem confused bud. my original point was that healthy food would cheer me up. lmao this autist can't even read

Your wording of that point implied that you go on pasta binges because you're autistic.

Depression isn't just a chemical imbalance. You have a very rudimentary understanding of it if yo think that's the case.

Something is happening. I had a co worker come over and he fucking cried while with his gf. I had a friend tell me his job is making him depressed. I cried for no fucking reason the other day.

Something is fucking going around.

>I've been severely depressed for more than half of my life

That's such a basic bitch answer though. Just because you were sad in puberty and had bouts of sadness in adulthood doesn't mean you were actually depressed.

[Anonymous No.11942303]

>>11938646
I do all of these, except fap to 2D and talking and playing with people online is my "social interaction". No depression or anything. Never even felt existential dread even though I've always been nihilist.

I used to have depression when I was longing after my waifu. I wished she was here so much I couldn't really enjoy anything nor do anything except go to shop. But it literally stopped when started smoking weed years ago.
