question about medication and weight loss
 

Ok I have a question to ask and I felt this was the appropriate place since I dont want to offend anybody. I am curious I have noticed some people refer to depression medication and weight loss , is weight loss a side effect of the drugs and they are being used for that purpose or are they being used to treat a medical issue such as depression because of weight, divorce or other tramua in ones life.
Im not being judgementalor condecending its not my place to judge I just have my curiosity tweaked.

Most antidepressants are stallers
 

Antidepressants are prescribed for depression, for the most part, and most people who take them have trouble getting out of bed without them. (overstated, but that's the direction). Seems to me that most SSRIs cause weight stall, not loss. The weight loss, if any, comes because the medication allows people to get out of bed and move.

My experience is that most depression is organic, caused by imbalances in the brain, rather than situational. Situations pass and people recover naturally--imbalances don't go away on their own.
