Geneva, Mar 17 (Prensa Latina) A study revealed that excess weight is closely related to people´s mental and emotional health, who can suffer from depression, insecurity and low self-esteem, a specialized media reported on Thursday.

Other psychosocial damage linked to obesity include problems getting a job, falling asleep, poor sex life, social isolation, and discrimination.

Excessive weight and feeling bad creates more anxiety, we generate cortisol levels, so this sustained situation causes low moods, causing an overweight person to be worse off, with greater emotional lability which can appear with an uncontrollable burst of crying.

Sometimes depressed people tend to have a huge binge, take refuge in food; so this will cost much more when dating or socializing.
