My mother has been taking Opin 5 mg and Adprito 10 mg for the last seven months to treat her mental health issues, which include self-talking and thought disorders. Could these medications be causing her weight gain? Is her condition completely curable, and what are the best treatment options for her?

Asked by Female, 55 · 6 days ago

Yes, her medications, specifically olanzapine and, to a lesser extent, aripiprazole, are well-known to cause weight gain. Regarding her condition, while thought disorders are generally managed long-term rather than completely cured, they are highly treatable. With consistent care, many people lead stable, fulfilling lives. The best treatment plan includes continuing her medication under her doctor's guidance, introducing a balanced diet and regular exercise to manage weight, and considering supportive therapy. Please consult her psychiatrist before making any changes; they can safely adjust her treatment or suggest alternatives to help manage the weight gain.
