Trajectories of antidepressant use and 6-year change in body weight: a prospective population-based cohort study
In a population-based adult cohort, repeated use of antidepressants was strongly associated with weight gain. New and discontinued use was associated with weight gain, but non-significantly to obesity incidence. Given the global obesity epidemic and the widespread use of antidepressants, weight management and metabolic monitoring should be encouraged and integrated into depression follow-up guidelines alongside antidepressant prescriptions.
