According to the World Health Organization (WHO), obesity is an abnormal or excessive accumulation of fat that can be harmful to health. Novo Nordisk, through a bulletin consulted by NotiPress indicated that there is a close relationship between obesity, depression and anxiety. Pilar Bautista, cognitive psychologist and contemplative psychotherapist, said: “we currently live in an ‘obesophobic’ society that stigmatizes the person with obesity. A disorder associated with obesity is binge eating, which can lead to overeating and result in weight gain. Psychological treatment can be started at home to treat obesity, starting from a greater understanding and compassion towards oneself.
