... huh?
So if I don't eat at all and take antipsychotic medication, I'll simultaneously gain weight and starve to death?
I know some antidepressants cause people to gain weight, but it's not something that can't be overcome by adjusting your diet/exercise.
You will grow boobs too sometimes.
If you starve yourself you will die. If you take risperdal or zyprexa you will gain weight.
People will ask if they will gain wait even if they diet and exercise more. The answer is yes, but we encourage people to exercise and eat healthy. But if they take antipsychotics they will gain weight.
Antidepressants and antipsychotics are very different. One of them a primary care doctor can manage, the other needs a specialist.
They will even make men grow boobs it's called gynomacastia. I think I spelled that right. They will make women lactate too, which is fun when you're trying to break a pregnancy delusion, which is a very common one. Other common delusions are "the game" and the Capgras delusion which is where your family are imposters.
