This observational study aims to explore the relationship between mental health disorders and obesity in patients referred for bariatric surgery. It focuses on developing a comprehensive screening tool to assist healthcare professionals in assessing the mental health of these candidates.

By characterizing patients with physical-mental multimorbidity, the study seeks to provide tailored recommendations for their management.
