@EM203AFroment Yes, @EM203AFroment, in my practice of over 20 years I have seen mental illness, including depression, increase the risk of developing obesity. Many medications to treat mental illness also has a negative side effect of weight gain.

Hey! @MariaDietitian2. As a registered dietitian, have you seen an increase in the recent years of obesity with young adult patients that have a history of mental illness?
