Adolescent girls who view themselves as too fat may display more suicidal behaviors than those who are actually overweight, according to a new study. Although studies have shown a link between obesity, depressive disorders and suicidal behaviors, scientists have now analyzed these indicators in conjunction with an individual's perception of their weight. The study will be published in Social Science and Medicine.
