Understanding the Link Between Obesity and Depression
Carrying excess body weight can strain almost every system in the body, and one of the most common outcomes of chronic obesity is depression. Research indicates that weight loss achieved through bariatric surgery can be more effective in reversing or managing this condition compared to traditional diets and medications alone.
How Bariatric Surgery Helps
Bariatric procedures, such as gastric bypass, sleeve gastrectomy, and robotic surgery, reduce the size of the stomach and affect hormones that regulate hunger. This often results in sustained weight loss. For patients who struggle with depression, this weight loss can lead to a reduction in symptoms, a decreased need for medications, and an overall improvement in quality of life.
