Abstract
The authors compare the appearance of depressive symptoms in 30 obese children in outpatient care and 30 normal-weight controls. The Montgomery-Asberg Depression Rating Scale showed a significantly higher rate of depression in the obese children (p < 0.01). The results are interpreted in the light of the partially contradictory views in the literature. Reference is also made to the therapeutic aspects of the problem.Entities:
