Not a dumb question.
Sugar increases the release of Serotonin, so it could in a way deplete storage if there is insuffiecient reuptake or increased MAO activity.
High sugar intake causes insulin resistence; high insulin levels is associated with high inflammatory markers (CRP), which is associated with depression.
Sugar is addictive and acts on the brain's reward system, when no sugar is provided there will be withdrawal symptoms (anxiety)
