Morbid obesity is a disease, not a moral failure — how it's effectively treated
Morbid obesity — defined as a BMI above 40 — is a chronic disease that raises the risk of diabetes, heart disease and cancer, not an aesthetic problem or sign of weak character. Modern GLP-1 medications and bariatric surgery are the most effective treatments, though both are surrounded by misconceptions. The goal of treatment is restoring overall health, not merely losing weight.
