The features of perception of mental and somatic disease in patients with schizophrenia burdened with obesity are studied. It has been established that patients with obesity with schizophrenia are characterized by low self-esteem of their own health as a whole and separate states of mental and physical health; the level of mental health patients with obesity perceived more negative and pessimistic. In addition, patients with obesity had higher levels of insight of mental illness and perception of it more threatening and dangerous than obesity. The findings show a high level of psychological distress in patients with schizophrenia with obesity, due to the specific perception of a mental disorder.
