Obesity and mental health are deeply connected. Depression, anxiety, and stress can contribute to weight gain—and vice versa.
Stress & sadness often lead to emotional eating, which triggers guilt and more overeating—a vicious cycle.
Obesity affects hormones like cortisol and serotonin, leading to mood swings, low energy, and mental fatigue.
Weight-related stigma can cause low self-esteem, social anxiety, and even depression.
Mindful eating, physical activity, therapy, and self-care can help break this cycle. Small steps make a big difference.
You’re not alone. Talk to a therapist, join a support group, and embrace self-love on your journey to better health.
