<s>[INST] Does surgery for obesity resolve the psychological problems? [/INST] Patients with a favourable evolution after bariatric surgery generally feel better psychologically. This is due to the improvement in their state of health, quality of life and self-esteem, allowing them to better adapt to their work, social, and personal environments. However, surgery for obesity is not a treatment for psychiatric disorders such as depression, anxiety or eating disorders, amongst others. Individuals who suffer from a mental health disorder should be assessed in order to receive the most appropriate therapy and promote the best progress possible for any weight loss treatment.
