A member asked:
What to stop yourself if you eat for depression or boredom?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depression: Food is often used as a soothing mechanism and also to avoid feelings, but feeling full doesn't relieve feelings of sadness, even temporarily. Talk therapy is your first best bet in stopping the food-as-substitute cycle.
