Implication

Observational study assesses depression and anxiety symptoms in adolescents with exogenous obesity, highlighting caregiver burden and maternal burnout.

Key Points

Adolescents with exogenous obesity exhibited elevated depression and anxiety scores compared to national averages, and it appears obesity may not directly impact these mental health outcomes.
Mothers of adolescents with obesity showed significantly higher levels of emotional exhaustion and depersonalization, suggesting increased caregiver burden and burnout.
Comparison with age- and sex-matched controls indicated no significant differences in depression and anxiety scores between groups, emphasizing the complexities in obesity-related mental health.
Standardized assessment tools revealed similar psychological stress levels in adolescents and their mothers, pointing to the need for integrated support strategies.
