  One of the more serious effects of stress is that it redirects metabolic energy away from the immune system. A tremendous amount of energy is necessary to operate the complex cells, hormones, and organs that make up this system. Fifteen minutes of danger and a return to normal isn’t going to compromise your immune system, but living with constant stress will surely slow you down metabolically, making you more susceptible to stroke, hypertension, type 2 diabetes, cancer, lung ailments, accidents, cirrhosis of the liver, and suicide.

  Some people will gain weight while suffering from clinical depression; others may lose substantial weight as a result of this disabling condition. In addition, some anti-depressants can make you gain weight. Some medication may make you feel nauseous so that you are less likely to want to eat. Some medication may cause a dry mouth and a feeling of dehydration. There is not one single answer that covers the whole area of managing weight during depressive illness.
