But, if these symptoms persist for a longer time then you may be suffering from depression. Now, according to a new study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association delivering obesity and depression therapy in one integrated program using dually trained health coaches who work within a care team and which includes a primary care physician and a psychiatrist, is helpful at lowering weight and improving depressive symptoms.
