Sažetak
Rapid weight gain among patients with mental disorders can further compound psychological distress and negatively influence compliance. Weight gain associated with treatment with atypical antipsychotic medication has been widely recognized as a risk factor for the development of diabetes type II and cardiovascular diseases. This paper describes a 33-year old female patient treated for schizoaffective disorder. Within two months after introducing quetiapine the patient experienced considerable weight gain amounting to 19 kg. The replacement of antipsychotic during inpatient psychiatric care resulted in weight loss.
