  • Does being overweight affect a person psychologically?

    Being overweight can have a significant impact on a person's psychological wellbeing. Studies have shown that adults with excess weight have a 55% higher risk of developing depression over their lifetime than those without obesity. Additionally, being overweight has been linked to increased major depression, bipolar disorder, and panic disorder. Psychological consequences of being overweight or obese can include lowered self-esteem and anxiety, as well as more serious disorders such as depression. Experiencing negative feelings about oneself and emotional distress are common among those struggling with obesity. Furthermore, it is known that obesity increases the risk of several debilitating, and deadly diseases, including diabetes, heart disease, and some cancers. In addition to physical health risks, psychological factors such as lowered self-esteem are also plausible for those who are overweight. Evidence also suggests that individuals with overweight and obesity report more intense abandonment and dependence issues, as well as more psychosocial problems and suicidal thoughts than their normal weight peers. www.mufarrehwellnessinstitute.com support@mufarrehwellnessinstitute.com READ MORE
