Weight Loss > Depression & Weight Loss

If you have been prescribed a psychiatric medication to treat your depression, your doctor may have told you these types of medications can cause significant weight gain. With an increase in weight, you also increase your risk of diabetes, high blood pressure, and heart disease. Sometimes it feels like you have to choose between either feeling good emotionally or feeling good physically. With MinDshape, you don’t have to choose.

MinDshape will teach you how to prevent weight gain while still sticking to your treatment plan. With one-on-one counseling and individualized menus, you can enjoy what you eat, eat well, and be confident in your decision to continue treatment for depression.

When you have a registered dietitian from MinDshape on your team, you add an extra layer of protection to your health. It also means you and your psychiatrist can spend your time together focusing on mental health concerns, not your weight. We partner with children, adults and families to take the stress out of food choices and to create long-lasting behavioral changes that control weight and help prevent disease.
