Psychological factors like comfort eating and body image issues contribute to weight gain by creating a cycle of emotional eating and negative self-perception. Comfort eating soothes emotional distress, leading to increased calorie intake. Negative body image can fuel disordered eating patterns, including restrictive eating or bingeing. Weight-loss drugs, like Ozempic, can disrupt this cycle by reducing appetite, but they also risk exacerbating psychological issues. For individuals with eating disorders or body image concerns, these drugs may disrupt their natural hunger cues, making recovery more difficult. They could also trigger addictive behaviors or depression, as the psychological benefits of overeating are removed. Thus, while weight-loss drugs may offer physical benefits, they must be used cautiously and in conjunction with psychological support to address underlying issues.
