A member asked:

Why do meals depress me afterwards? is there a link to depression and nausea?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not really but...: Everyone's relationship with food is unique. Also, some people can mistake the normal tiredness that comes after a full meal (postprandial sedation) with depression. Btw, if you are feeling nauseous after every meal, that is not normal & you should check it out with your doc.
