Why mental health support is so important

Controlling weight and managing mental illness often feel like they are entangled in a vicious cycle.

Inseparable

Evidence indicates an intricate interplay of biological, psychological, and socioeconomic factors that collectively influence both obesity and mental health. In fact, dieting itself has been shown to cause inflammation in the brain.

Delayed recognition

Because mental illness is harder to diagnose, it often is overlooked as part of weight loss regimens and obesity programs.

Gender disparity

Women with obesity are three times more likely to be diagnosed with depressive episodes compared to their non-obese counterparts, a risk significantly greater than that observed in men with obesity.

The psychological
weight of obesity

Many individuals who are obese or overweight also struggle with issues related to mood, self-esteem, and quality of life.

The impact of mental illness on your weight

Anxiety and mood disorders can change your eating patterns, impacting your weight. It also can make it even more difficult to stick to a diet or an exercise regimen. Many medications for anxiety and depression lead to weight gain.
