Mental Health and Obesity: A Somatosensory Feedback Loop
Original: Mental Health-Obesity Feedback Loop: The Somatosensory Facet
Medscape is highlighting the link between mental health and obesity, focusing on the somatosensory dimension of the relationship. The item argues that sensory and bodily experiences may reinforce a two-way cycle, in which obesity worsens mental health and poor mental health contributes to weight gain. It adds a physiological angle to ongoing discussion of how the two conditions drive each other.
Why now: Clinicians and health commentators are currently interested in biological mechanisms that connect obesity and mental health.
