주요우울증을 동반한 고도비만 환자에 대한 행동요법을 병행한 리라글루티드 치료의 2예

초록

Obesity is a chronic disease associated with severe complications. A major complication of obesity is depression, which can worsen obesity and vice versa. In addition, most antidepressants or antipsychotics cause weight gain, and the relationship between obesity and depression is clinically critical. However, treatment of obese patients with major depressive disorder is complicated. Bariatric physicians should provide appropriate behavioral interventions alongside pharmacological treatment, considering psychiatric symptoms, drug side effects, and drug interactions. Two successful cases of moderate-to-severe obese patients with major depressive disorder who had been treated for obesity using behavioral intervention therapy along with liraglutide will be discussed. This report highlights the safety and efficacy of liraglutide treatment of obesity in patients with depression who take antidepressants and antipsychotics.
