Antidepressant Use May Be Associated With Weight Gain Over Time,

, research published online May 23 in the BMJ suggests that “antidepressant use may be associated with weight gain over time.” Investigators arrived at that conclusion after examining data from the UK Clinical Practice Research Datalink involving some “295,000 people of all different weights.” The study revealed that people “prescribed antidepressants during the first year of the study were 21% more likely to have gained at least 5% of their starting body weight over the 10 years of follow-up, compared to people not taking the” medications. http://time.com/5288456/antidepressants-weight-gain/
