Why do so many of us crave chocolate when depressed?

[annaica]

 Is chocolate a mood stabilizer for you?

 

 

[rhodaj]

yes

[lucy164]

chocolate is a mood booster.

[MrsBoats08]

OH YES!!

[Tracys2]

Not always. Carbs work for that. Chocolate is tasty, but it's not my "thing". It is a "reward" though, for me.

chocolate is a mood booster for sure for me.  really good dark chocolate with chilis and cinnamon is my favorite, but i also like the kind with goji berries and sea salt but its expensive.
