"...but doctors don't know why." ??? Western thinking is too linear and not holistic. Reading the article they never mention that anxiety burns calories. Someone that's over stimulated, taking a drug that makes them relax... wth do they think would happen??? Like how peeps loose lbs with caffeine.

Doesn't mood contribute to weight gain? At least for me, when I am moody, I eat, eat a lot.

It’s a problem. I started Zoloft (Sertraline) in December and I’ve gained over 40 lbs. It’s enough that I want to come off it and I have actual agoraphobia my anxiety is that bad. The biggest gains started around the 100mg mark.
