Or is it “Depression linked to being poor and not affording proper food”?

Not to mention that if you're depressed, preparing healthy food can be a huge struggle because of the effort involved in acquiring ingredients, cooking/preparing the food, and cleanup afterwards.

This is exactly it, I'm not depressed because I eat shitty processed food, I eat that shit because it's the only thing I have the energy to deal with.

That’s correct, and also it’s a vicious cycle because poor diets enforce depression on a biological level as well.
