Unhealthy weight gain may result from various psychological factors affecting eating habits and physical health. While the problem manifests physically, addressing the underlying mental health triggers may offer solutions. Therapy provides proven techniques for managing weight gain in a holistic manner.

Stress, anxiety, and depression can lead to significant mindfulness eating and cognitive behavioral therapy weight loss challenges over time. These mental health conditions disrupt hormones that regulate hunger and satiety, driving cravings for calorie-dense processed foods.
