if antidepressants don’t contain calories, then how do they make you gain fat?

Question

Seriously, I’ve been trying to lose weight for a year now and fat doesn’t seem to want to burn off. Could this be a hormonal thing maybe? :/

Answer 1

Mostly they affect appetite.

Remember though that almost all of the body’s processes are controlled by hormones; any drug that changes your hormonal balance will have effects on your body, not just your mood.
