FEATURES OF MENTAL DISORDERS IN PERSONS WITH OBESITY CAUSED BY EXCESS SUPPLY OF ENERGY RESOURCES: A LITERATURE REVIEW
Main Article Content
Abstract
Obesity, a multifactorial condition influenced by genetic, environmental, and behavioral factors, has reached epidemic proportions globally. While the physical health implications of obesity are well-documented, its impact on mental health is an area of growing concern. Obesity is not merely a physical condition but a complex interplay of biological, psychological, and social factors. Beyond the physical burden of excess weight, individuals living with obesity often face profound psychological challenges that can significantly impact their quality of life.The relationship between obesity and mental health is intricate and bidirectional. On one hand, obesity can contribute to the development or exacerbation of various mental disorders, including depression, anxiety, and eating disorders. This literature review explores the intersection between obesity and mental disorders, focusing on the psychological features associated with obesity resulting from an excess supply of energy resources.
