Obesity Amplifies Risk of Mental Disorders – Depression, Anxiety, Psychosis and More — People suffering from obes |
In the context of this study, the research team analyzed a population-based dataset of all inpatient hospitalizations in Austria from 1997 to 2014 in order to determine the relative risks of concomitant diseases in obesity and to identify statistically significant gender differences.
Until now, physicians often assumed that psychopharmacological drugs were the cause of the link between mental disorders and diabetes. “This may be true for schizophrenia, where we see the reverse chronological order, but our data does not support this for depression or other psychiatric diagnoses,” explains first author Alexander Kautzky from the Department of Psychiatry and Psychotherapy at MedUni Vienna.
The fact that, according to the current study, obesity often precedes severe mental disorders emphasizes its importance as a risk factor for health problems of all children. This is primarily true for young age groups, where the risk is most pronounced. For this reason, thorough screening for mental health problems in obese patients is urgently needed to facilitate prevention or ensure that appropriate treatment can be given, so the researchers conclude.
