4:06Now PlayingAmerica’s children are facing a huge crisis – one putting their physical and mental health at terrible risk – their weight. Dr. Phil discusses the epidemic of childhood obesity, a condition that affects over 14 million children and adolescents. For the first time in 15 years, the American Academy of Pediatrics released new guidelines, including recommending the use of anti-obesity medications to treat children as young as 12 and weight loss surgery for kids as young as 13. Emma, 13, bravely and honestly shares her story of being overweight since third grade and experiencing relentless bullying in middle school. Emma‘s Aunt Kim says she is terrified about Emma‘s physical and mental health and what could happen if a change isn’t made soon. Then, Faith, 25, was one of the first teens to undergo weight loss surgery at age 16. She says that while the surgery changed her high school experience, her lifelong struggle with obesity is a chronic condition that requires care even after surgery. Also joining the discussion is Dr. Angela Fitch, board-certified in obesity medicine, internal medicine, and pediatrics, and president of the Obesity Medicine Association. (21110RR)
