Popis: In this chapter, we discuss addictive disorders in severe obesity, a very important clinical consideration in this patient population. The chapter begins with an overview of the prevalence of substance use disorders in severely obese and bariatric surgery patient populations, followed by a discussion of the neurobiological and physiological correlates of addiction and obesity. We discuss tools for addiction screening and summarize the various forms of psychosocial and pharmacological treatment options for addiction in the context of severe obesity. We finish the chapter with a vignette to help integrate the information learned in this chapter into a clinical scenario.
