Hello, Welcome to Health Care Magic

I can understand your concern. Obesity is one of independent aggravating factor for depression. The symptoms like benign forgetfulness, drowsiness, laziness, irritability, anger etc could occur as the part of depression. Try to reduce the weight by exercise which will help in improving mood. Consult a psychiatrist for persistent depressive symptoms. Medicines like SSRIs are commonly used in depression. Fluoxetine is SSRI that doesn't cause weight gain and can prove useful in your case.

Apart from the medicines try relaxation exercises, yoga, meditation to keep yourself relaxed.

Thanks
