So how can one avoid or treat this weight gain?
Changing to other anti psychotic medications does not help at all. Almost all such pills can cause the same side effect. Further, many psychotic individuals have a tendency to respond well to one particular anti psychotic drug and mucking around with pills often leads to worsening of symptoms.
Other experts recommend a change in diet (stop eating fatty foods and sugars) and start an exercise program. Does this work? No- most patients with mental disorders have very little motivation to start running across America. Secondly, anti psychotics medications also diminish energy and induce lethargy- so exercise may sound great but is not practical.
