The main obesity constitutes one of “social estigma”, with a noticeable repercussion at individual psychological level; also, it is a syndrome with discharge prevailed of psychiatric comorbidity but for that reason it is not a psychiatric upheaval; nevertheless, the discharge prevailed of psicopatología in the obese patients and the greater rate of psychiatric sufferings between such, allows to visualize it like a psychiatric problem, which must be identified and to be taken care of form synchronizes with the control programs of weight. The criteria of therapeutic success must contemplate not only the reduction of weight like end item, but that like a continuous process with positive results in the quality of life, less sedentary style of life, actively integrating the exercise, a greater acceptance of their corporal image and a change of feeding habits, along with a conscience of disease that leads to an avoidance of the relapses, so frequent in this process, but that obligatorily does not mean an absolute failure of the treatment.
