Weight gain is on the rise in the United States as is the diagnosis and treatment of mental disorders. These two phenomena are distinctly separate but tend to overlap in that most psychotropic agents approved for use in the United States are associated with the potential to induce weight gain. Metabolic disorders such as diabetes, hypercholesterolemia, and hypertension are also on the rise and often associated with weight gain and clearly associated with certain psychotropic medications. This article serves to provide a succinct review regarding the epidemiology, etiology, and treatment options for psychotropic-induced obesity.
在美国,体重增加的现象正在上升,同时精神障碍的诊断和治疗也在增加。这两种现象是明显分开的,但往往会重叠,因为大多数在美国被批准使用的精神药物都有可能导致体重增加。代谢紊乱,如糖尿病、高胆固醇血症和高血压也在上升,通常与体重增加有关,并且与某些精神药物明显相关。本文旨在提供关于精神药物引起的肥胖的流行病学、病因和治疗选择的简明综述。
