Conditions studied: Bariatric Surgery Candidate, Obesity

In brief

Multimorbidity, the co-occurrence of several chronic conditions, is a growing phenomenon that poses new challenges for clinicians and researchers. The association between a mental health disorder and a physical health disorder represents a particularly frequent subtype of multimorbidity and is associated with greater severity and higher consumption of care. It is essential and urgent to explore the specific pathophysiology of this subtype of multimorbidity in order to develop adapted therapeutic strategies. Psychiatric disorders, such as mood disorders, anxiety disorders, attention deficit disorder and binge eating disorder, are common in people with obesity. For example, although most of these disorders may improve after bariatric surgery, some components of these disorders, such as emotional dysregulation and impulsivity, need to be addressed as they appear to be involved in the development of addiction and suicidality after bariatric surgery. Therefore, screening and vigilance of these risks appear increasingly necessary. To address this challenge, the BariaPsy databank aims to explore the screening of certain mental health disorders frequently observed in adults with obesity through an innovative approach that explores behaviors in the form of dimensions. It will help clinicians to quickly identify markers of certain disorders, thus helping them to further investigate the problem and provide personalized resources to their patient.
