Wait, not wanting to expend a lot of energy and concentration to prepare food and opting for easy to make ultra-processed food is correlated to depression? Gee, I wonder which way the causation goes. (Don't want to used energy to make meal-> Depressed) or (Depressed -> Don't want to use energy to make meal)
It's also kind of a viscous cycle because making those ultra processed products healthier is more expensive which companies don't want/people can't afford so they're convenient but bad for you, which doesn't help your well-being or energy levels.
