title: [Effect of marked obesity on the emotional status of children].
abstract: Fifty children with overweight exceeding 50% of the expected weight were studied for establishing the occurrence of emotional disturbances caused by lack of acceptance by peers. Obese children were found to suffer often from discrimination by their schoolmates which was, in some degree, connected with their low fitness. This may lead to various emotional disturbances requiring even psychotherapeutic measures.
