The researchers found that people with depression showed lower levels of ‘wanting’ food, but not of ‘liking’ it.
Further, “compared to carbohydrate-rich foods, patients with (major depressive disorder) reported lower liking and wanting ratings for high-fat and high-protein foods,” the authors wrote.
They also found that such patients also had an increased craving for foods combining fat and carbohydrates, such as milk chocolate.
