How do psychiatrists help with obesity?
Adolescents with obesity experience bias and bullying from their peers; many, particularly females, develop a negative self-image that persists into adulthood. Overweight children and adolescents may engage in unhealthy eating behaviors in an attempt to lose weight. It is important to promote healthy eating habits without prompting or worsening an eating disorder, and care should be taken to minimize this risk through counseling that supports a positive body image and healthy eating patterns. The goal of behavioral therapy is to help patients(of any age group) make long-term changes in their eating behavior by modifying and monitoring their food intake, modifying their physical activity, and controlling cues and stimuli in the environment that trigger eating.
