Mood Disorders and Bariatric Surgery Patients: Pre- and Post- Surgery Clinical Course- An Overview
Journal Title: Journal of Obesity and Weight-loss Medication - Year 2016, Vol 2, Issue 1
Abstract
Aim:The purpose of the study was to evaluate the clinical course before and after bariatric surgery (BS) of patients affected by mood disorders as Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) and Bipolar Disorder (BD). Methods:A search in Pubmed's medline was performed for English-spoken articles published from January 2000 to May 2015 using the keywords 'depression', 'bipolar disorder', 'mood disorders' and 'antidepressive drugs' combined with 'bariatric surgery' and 'obesity surgery'. A total of 43 studies was evaluated. Results:Patients candidates to BS were frequently affected by MMD or BD. A substantial modification of psychopathology after surgery was reported both in the short and long follow up. BS shows important effects on metabolism of psychotropic drugs. Conclusions:Careful preoperative assessment and close monitoring post-surgery are recommended.
