Does your girl child suffer from anxiety disorders or depression? Or did grow fat after reaching adulthood and used to stay depressed during childhood? But ways, as researchers say, anxiety disorders or depression, particularly at a young age, may put women at greater risk of obesity.



Investigators followed 820 men and women from childhood through young adulthood, and found women with a history of either depression or anxiety - or, in many cases, both - tended to gain more weight over time. And when it came to depression, the earlier in life the disorder arose, the greater the weight gained.
