Based on a unified protocol and under a team collaboration the authors performed a cognitive-behavior therapy with the patient and the whole family. The psychosocial problems were evaluated as well as the general health state of the children in relation to the severity of obesity and the reached results in body mass reduction.

Only 29% of the observed children were in an agreeable state of mind, 32% of children expressed signs of ADHD syndrome and specific learning disorders, 29% of children displayed signs of uncertainty or even anxiety. Health complications occurred in 37.5% of children with first grade obesity, 47.2% of children had already the obesity associated with complex metabolic changes, which has to be treated. The evaluation of body mass reduction was assessed in connection with a natural decrease in the patients during the period of observation.
