BackgroundObesity negatively impacts mental and physical health and is a leading cause of disease worldwide. Obesity affects 33% of Saudi adults, with 10% being morbidly obese (body mass index, BMI >40 kg/m 2 ). This study explored the association between bariatric surgery (BS) and a predisposition or exacerbation of depressive and anxiety symptoms. Material and methodsA cross-sectional study of patients who underwent bariatric surgery at the King Khalid University Hospital in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, was conducted between February 2016 and December 2021. The patients were contacted by phone to complete a self-administered questionnaire on demographic information, chronic medical diseases, psychiatric diseases, body mass index, and type of bariatric surgery. In addition, they completed the patient health questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) and general anxiety disorder-7 (GAD-7) questionnaire to screen for patients' depression and anxiety symptoms. ResultsThe findings of the 367 BS patients showed that 20.7% of the patients were considered to have mild anxiety, 11.2% had moderate anxiety, and 8.7% had high anxiety levels. However, regarding depression, 46.9% had extremely low levels of depression, followed by mild depression in 29.4% and moderate depression in 11.2%. Furthermore, another 8.2% of BS patients had moderately high depression levels, and 4.4% had severe depression. The anxiety and depression levels of the patients in this study did not show any statistically significant changes postoperatively in the short, medium, or long term. On the other hand, almost all of the patients 97% who underwent bariatric surgery were satisfied with the outcome of their surgery. ConclusionFew BS patients had high symptoms of depression and anxiety. We recommend pre-and postoperative psychiatric assessment for all bariatric surgery patients as surgical protocol.

Introduction Depression and anxiety are common mental health disorders that can significantly affect quality of life, particularly in patients following bariatric surgery. These psychological conditions are frequently observed after surgery and can have adverse consequences on recovery and health. This study aimed to assess the prevalence of anxiety and depression in post-bariatric surgery patients and to explore the relationship between bariatric surgery and the development of depressive and/or anxiety symptoms. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted among patients who underwent bariatric surgery between June 1, 2019, and December 30, 2021, at King Fahad Specialist Hospital in Buraidah, Al Qassim, Saudi Arabia. Data collection occurred in two phases. Initially, medical records were reviewed to identify eligible patients, whose contact information was then entered into a digital database. Data collectors contacted patients via phone to obtain demographic details, chronic medical conditions, mental health history, BMI, surgical method, and symptoms of anxiety and depression. Anxiety and depression symptoms were assessed using the GAD-7 and PHQ-9 scales, respectively. Results The study included 182 post-bariatric surgery patients. The prevalence of depression was 3.8%. While 67.6% of participants reported no anxiety, a significant portion experienced anxiety at varying levels (20.9% mild, 6.6% moderate, and 4.9% severe). Depression was associated with younger age, single marital status, lower income, and smoking. Anxiety was linked to smoking, snoring, surgical complications, mental health history, recent stressors, and coexisting depression. Depression was more prevalent six months to two years post-surgery. Conclusion Psychological distress, particularly anxiety, is common among post-bariatric surgery patients. Routine psychiatric evaluation, both pre- and post-surgery, is recommended to prevent potential complications and improve patient outcomes.
