What are the consequences of diagnosing a patient who has bipolar disorder as simply unipolar depression?

Hi, thanks for your question!

Some of the medications you mention can increase appetite, and increase weight

When taking these medications, it is important, in addition to mental health, to monitor your weight, cholesterol, blood pressure, and blood sugar levels at regular intervals. This is purely a precaution

I hope this has been helpful to you and if you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact me!
