Abstract

This article reviews the impacts of childhood and adolescent obesity on mental health and the associated psychosocial factors. Obesity in young individuals is strongly linked to mental health issues such as depression, anxiety, and low self-esteem. Stigmatization and weight-related bullying are critical factors that exacerbate these problems. The family environment, including parents’ mental health and parenting practices, plays a crucial role in shaping children’s and adolescents’ eating and physical activity habits, directly influencing the risk of obesity and psychological issues. Schools can be either supportive or stressful environments, depending on the presence of inclusion programs and health promotion versus bullying and discrimination. Additionally, social and economic factors, such as access to healthy food and opportunities for physical activity, are also important determinants. The review highlights the need for multidisciplinary approaches that integrate physical and mental health promotion, emphasizing collaboration among healthcare professionals, educators, and families to develop effective and sustainable long-term interventions.
