ABSTRACT
The main objective of this study is to expand the observation of the relationship between eating (ingestion) and emotions in obesity. Cerebral regions that share primary circuits in both eating and emotions were analyzed. It is proposed that eating is more than the act of feeding and includes other mental function activities such as self regulation and pleasure seeking, and has a role in the emotional adjustment of significant relationships (family, couple). It is proposed that if obesity could be included in DSM, new treatment and prevention alternatives could be developed.
RESUMEN
Se propone ampliar la mirada de la obesidad hacia la relación ingesta-vida emocional. Se analizan las regiones cerebrales que participan compartiendo circuitos primarios en ambas situaciones. Se propone el comer más allá de la alimentación con funciones mentales como auto-regulación emocional; búsqueda de placer y participación en el ajuste emocional de las relaciones significativas (familia, pareja). Se sugiere que la inclusión de la obesidad en el Manual de enfermedades mentales cambiaría su comprensión ampliando las alternativas para su prevención y tratamiento.
