Abstract
Obesity (BMI ≥ 30 kg/m2) has been officially classified as a disease by the WHO since 2008, yet individuals affected by obesity often face blame and negative stereotypes from society and healthcare providers. This stigmatization can lead to negative impacts on both mental and physical health. This phenomenon can also lead the stigmatized person to internalize the prejudice, considering their fate as deserved. This article aims to provide healthcare professionals with the tools to better understand and care for patients with obesity.
