Obese patients suffer, frequently, from a depressive state, anger, and emotional disturbances. It cannot be recognized and depression causes obesity affecting eating habits or obesity causes depression based on physical, social and occupational limitations. Many times we see that obese patients are discriminated in every sense of daily life increasing their depressive state. The best treatment for obesity is bariatric surgery that causes a sufficient weight loss to correct sleep apnea, diabetes, hypertension, and many other co-morbidity.
