BariaPSY is building a large database of information from people being treated for obesity at a hospital in Quebec. Researchers want to understand how mental health conditions—like depression, anxiety, and eating disorders—are connected to obesity, and to create better screening tools that doctors can use to support patients more effectively.
Many people struggling with obesity also deal with mental health challenges, but doctors don't always have good tools to screen for and address these issues together. This research aims to fill that gap by identifying how often mental health disorders occur in people seeking obesity treatment and what biological factors might link them.

As a participant, you would allow the research team to access your medical records, which include your health history, lab results, weight measurements, and other information already collected by your doctors. The team may also ask you to complete questionnaires about your mental health and provide samples (like fat tissue biopsies) if you're already having bariatric surgery. There is no separate treatment or medication being tested—this is purely a data collection study to help researchers learn more about the connection between mental health and obesity.
