Summary
Lifestyle intervention and certain medications have been shown to be effective for
antipsychotic-induced weight gain, but no controlled studies have compared psychological and
pharmacological therapies. We conducted a randomized, placebo-controlled study to test the
efficacy of lifestyle intervention and metformin alone and in combination for
antipsychotic-induced weight gain.
