The article discusses the management of antipsychotic-induced weight gain (AIWG) and the role of metformin in reducing weight gain in patients with severe mental illness. It highlights the importance of early initiation of metformin to prevent further weight gain and addresses concerns about its efficacy and safety. The article also emphasizes the need for a more patient-centered approach to weight management in psychiatry and suggests the use of pharmacological adjuncts beyond metformin for effective AIWG management. Overall, the article calls for a paradigm shift in obesity management within psychiatric settings. [Extracted from the article] |
