ABSTRACT
The rising rates of severe obesity among adolescents in the United States indicate a dire need for more intensive weight management strategies. While current evidence suggests that bariatric surgery is a safe and efficacious intervention for adolescents, the linkages with psychopathology before and after surgery are not well understood. Psychologists are an integral part of the interdisciplinary surgery team and play an important role in preparing youth for bariatric surgery as well as supporting adolescents post-surgery. The present manuscript reviews the literature on psychopathology in the context of adolescent bariatric surgery, discusses consideration of psychopathology as a contraindication for surgery, and provides recommendations on how psychologist members of the bariatric surgery team may balance attention to motivation and adherence to medical recommendations with assessment and treatment of psychopathology. Finally, the importance of continued research to confirm clinical consensus regarding decision-making and expansion of psychological resources within adolescent bariatric surgery programs are discussed.
