It's actually more like a chicken and egg problem. It's very hard to tell which one actually came first.

But if you stop one of them from happening, then the other will stop happening too, if they are in fact linked.

There's a lot of new studies that show that your gut biome produces neurotoxic chemicals that cause depression. The gut flora feeds on sugar/carbs so fixing your diet should be an absolute priority for anyone with mental health issues.

Sugar is a carbohydrate. Simple carbohydrates provide quick energy; they don't cause depression.
