About what? Yes, I know quitting drugs is impossible for many people. When you have serious issues, you need a serious professional.

A professional such as a doctor, who prescribes a medication that helps address the issue?

[ddorian43]

A substance abuse doctor & therapist.

Why is your preferred set of professionals better than another? Do you have research showing that treating obesity as a substance abuse disorder has positive outcomes?

[ddorian43]

Nobody pays for research with no meds.

Its not simple obesity. Many obese have eating disorders.

For permanent adherence, only quitting works.
