"There is some relation between chocolate and depression," says Scott Bea, a psychologist at the Cleveland Clinic, in Ohio. "Chocolate could be a (fix) for depression or it could work the other way, meaning that people who (overly) use chocolate could be prone to depression." Susan Albers, a psychologist and colleague of Bea's at the Cleveland Clinic, says that chocolate (raises) levels of the brain chemical serotonin -- as do some antidepressants -- and also (boosts) blood-sugar levels, which can make you feel more energetic. "Emotional chocolate eaters may be looking for an (immediate) change that exercise or antidepressants can bring," she says. But, she adds, a chocolate rush is often followed by a (crash), and "The crash will make the depression worse."
