Dr. Ali Zentner, MD, FRCPC, Internal Medicine, Obesity discusses how obesity needs to be viewed as a multi-faceted chronic disease.
We know that obesity is as much a disease as schizophrenia or depression or high blood pressure and telling someone who carries extra weight to eat less and move more is like telling a schizophrenic to just ignore the voices. It's like telling a patient with depression to cheer up, or asking someone with high blood pressure to just cut out salt.
Mr. Bill Semchuk, BSP, M.Sc., Pharm D, FCSHP, Pharmacist discusses how augmenting lifestyle improvements with medications can help obesity patients lose weight.
Obesity is a chronic disease. 2015 was the year where the Canadian Medical Association recognized obesity as a chronic disease. For decades, obesity was recognized as a risk factor to develop other complications such as diabetes and hypertension.
