They want to feel good and because depression makes them feel bad, so they compensate by eating. You become alcoholic. You do drugs because you you don't like yourself. You need external things to feel better about yourself cuz you don't like yourself at all. That's sad. Parents and teachers never taught the children the fundamentals. You need to have to do things so that you have to like yourself first. Don't worry about others liking you.
