SOCIAL EFFECTS

Obesity has social, psychological and emotional consequences. Right or wrong, our society emphasizes slimness, and as a result, the obese are often treated differently, ridiculed and left out of social activities, leaving them to a life of pain and isolation. In addition, the obese face enormous physical and social challenges every day, simply due to their large size. Social issues such as limits in clothing, seating, travel, and career options. And the physical problems of grooming and sexual intimacy. Any and all of these things can have a devastating long-term impact on emotional wellbeing. The obese often have feelings of humiliation, isolation and inferiority. They can suffer from depression, anxiety and low self-esteem. With healthy weight loss, patients can find improvements in everyday life and great happiness in the smallest, simplest things, such as the ease of tieing one's shoes.
