Obesity

Childhood and adolescent obesity is associated with increased risk of mental health problems, including depression, anxiety, and low self-esteem. Social stigma and bullying related to weight can further exacerbate these mental health challenges. Interventions addressing both physical health and mental wellbeing are crucial for effective management of childhood obesity.
