Comprehensive obesity care requires the integration of behavioral health support to address weight stigma, disordered eating, and the psychosocial impacts of large magnitude weight loss, which medical management alone cannot resolve.
Obesity treatment involves more than just weight loss; it includes managing the psychological impact of the disease. Seek out behavioral health support to address weight stigma, disordered eating, and the emotional changes that come with significant weight loss.
