Scope[edit]

Is this term really limited to the "overshadowing" illness being a mental illness? The most common occurrence of this has to be with obesity, don't you think? I don't have references to support such an edit, it's out of my lane. But it seems obvious that it would be possible, on-topic and productive to expand the article in that direction. Step one is citing some literature using the term in that context, I guess? --66.190.13.201 (talk) 04:02, 23 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
