Excess weight has a major impact on physical and psychological wellbeing. In this study, people with psychosis explained how it not only knocks confidence and mood, but also contributes to paranoid fears and hearing critical voices, said lead author Felicity Waite, DClinPsy, of the University of Oxford.

Often than not, we see ourselves gaining weight like anything, post being on even normal medication for some time. It makes us think if at all we are doing something to our bodies or is it purely the medication.
But what about people with bipolar disorder who take antipsychotic medicines? A new study explored patients’ experiences of weight gain and preferences for weight management after being on that medication.

The study was published in ‘Psychology and Psychotherapy: Theory, Research and Practice’. Rapid weight gain is common when individuals take antipsychotic medications.

In interviews with 10 individuals taking antipsychotic medications, patients described that initially the extent and speed of weight gain was overshadowed by psychotic experiences and their treatment. This led to an eventual shocking realization of weight gain, which contributed to loss of self-worth, agency, and hope.

Weight gain amplified a sense of vulnerability, which contributed to social withdrawal, depression, and for some, psychotic experiences. Investigators noted that understanding the psychological journey associated with weight gain in patients taking antipsychotic medications may offer potential novel targets for weight loss treatments.

“We now need to develop effective interventions. This study identifies new targets for treatment–rebuilding confidence may be a necessary first step in tackling excess weight,” he concluded.
