Traditional psychiatric medications for depression can cause significant weight gain and may not effectively resolve underlying disability.

“so so we the psychiatrist dole out our pills that make everybody gain 50 pounds and then 50 pounds later which for some people only takes about six months or so it doesn't take a long time to gain 50 pounds with these medicines and and then six months later they're still seriously depressed or impaired by their illness they're still disabled there's still a mess and then we're trying new pills and we're trying oh well this one's gonna make you gain another 75 pounds but just go ahead and take it we don't have anything else to offer you”
