Weight Loss and Maintenance

Weight loss based on psychiatry is different. It's not a shot or pill for a few months followed by gradually gaining the weight back.  You're not going to stand on a scale in the middle of a fitness center while a fitness model applauds your 2 pound weight loss in front of the world. You aren't left wondering if it's really "something else" causing the weight gain.  

​

While obesity itself is not a mental health disorder, it absolutely can be both a symptom and cause of mental health disorders. The following correlate mental health and weight gain:

​

  1. Emotional Factors: Emotional distress, such as depression or anxiety, can lead to overeating as a coping mechanism, which may contribute to the development of obesity.

  2. Eating Disorders: Conditions like binge eating disorder, where individuals consume large amounts of food in a short period, are linked with obesity. This relationship highlights the importance of addressing mental health in treating obesity.

  3. Psychological Impact: Being obese can lead to psychological distress, including low self-esteem, body dissatisfaction, and social stigma, which can affect mental health.

  4. Lifestyle Factors: Mental health conditions can impact lifestyle choices, such as physical activity levels and dietary habits, which in turn influence weight.

  5. Medications: Certain medications such as SSRIs (antidepressants), antipsychotics, mood stabilizers, and antihypertensives can cause significant weight gain.
