Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of homeopathic treatment in pregnant women with overweight and class I obesity with suspicion of a mental disorder.
Detailed Description
The weight gain during pregnancy has been reported as an important factor of being overweight after delivery and comorbidities. There are a lot of restrictions to treat pregnant women due to fetus development. Homeopathy presents itself as an integrative medicine that could treat with less collateral effects improving general health. The investigators are going to test the effects of homeopathy.
