The link between depression and obesity is analogous to that eternal question between the chicken and the egg—which really came first? Studies have shown that American adults and children have higher rates of obesity and depression than ever before. It has been shown that obese people are most likely to feel left out of any social circle and have a harder time climbing the career ladder, regardless of their capabilities. Experts have seen a connection between people’s weight and their mood. This is because, according to them, obesity causes chemical imbalances in people which can regulate the way they feel.

Women can be put to much stress, especially as they are expected to manage both work and home issues and matters. Familial, professional and hormonal changes can come to the point of being distressing for this gender. The distress, called “stress” in simple terms has massive consequences, emotionally and health- wise. One of the most common consequences of stress is weight gain. It comes as no surprise why a large number of women suffer from a weight problem. Obesity is a common dilemma among the fairer sex. And this again causes further emotional health problems such as depression. That’s why they say obesity and depression go hand in hand in women.

Obesity is now considered as a serious health problem because aside from the health risk it poses, the number of obese people is increasing. Other than being a health risk, obesity also affects a person’s mental and emotional well being. It is common to many people of any age and many of them have difficulty trimming down their body weight. Many think that obesity is more serious in adults than in children, but they're not actually correct. In fact, it could be more serious in children. Studies have shown that obese children are likely to develop low self esteem and they carry this as they grow old.

You’ve heard the word time and again in almost all self-help texts- self-esteem. But what does this word really mean, and why does it seem so crucial? In the most simple understanding, self-esteem is feeling good about yourself or liking yourself. Sounds so easy, doesn’t it? But many people actually have self esteem issues, and quite a number of factors could cause them. One vital factor which can make or unmake a person’s self-esteem is their physical appearance. People tend to acknowledge a person according to how they look, and this is one of the major drawbacks of those suffering from weight problems.

A large number of the population is suffering from weight issues. Having to suffer from a weight issue has many disadvantages. Of all these disadvantages, one which can pose a dilemma is overweight discrimination. Discrimination anywhere and in any form is unacceptable, yet it has long been a reality. Of the many forms of discrimination, there is one- overweight discrimination- which is quite prevalent in the workplace. One of the questions often asked by overweight people is : “Can I be fired because of my overweight condition?” Legally, a person cannot be fired for being overweight. But then again, the fact must be noted that considerable cases of overweight discrimination have been filed and gone to court.

This is especially the case in morbid obesity. Morbid obesity is a chronic condition, a severe case of obesity to the point that it may even be to the extreme.
