help with my thesis on link between obesity and suicide

I ave started working on my topic entitled, 'is there a link between obesity and suicide?' However i am finding it difficult to find any information to work with. Any ideas?

Greetings!

That's an interesting topic, and one that may not have been explored much. Who knows--maybe you'll open a door to new research!

The first place I would look is in academic journals. I would start with the field of psychology, and then bariatrics (I think that is the field that studies obesity, right?). I assume you have access to a university library; they should have a database of academic journals available to you. Do a search on your topics, then decide which articles are most relevant. Asking a librarian for help would probably get you started in the right direction.

You can also look for books on the subject while you're in the library (again, the librarian could help you). I would do a search for "obesity" as a subject. When you find a book, check the index for the topic "suicide."

You can also do a search on the Internet for both your topics. This may lead you to the names of books and magazine or newspaper articles.

Good luck! I hope there is lots of information out there that you can use!
