躁狂症人群饮食应注意什么?

5. 体重有所增加？也要善待自己 Weight gain? Be kind to yourself

      Many psychotropic drugs have the unfortunate side effect of weight gain, and that can be hard on your self-esteem. It's common to feel angry, frustrated or embarrassed about your appearance, especially when friends and relatives comment on the change. But if you react to meds-related weight gain by trying to starve yourself, you're only going to make it worse. Instead, be kind to yourself. If you want to lose weight, make a sensible plan with your doctor, and don't punish yourself with draconian diets. Find a gentle way to love the body you have right now, even when its size fluctuates because of your medication.

      许多精神性药品都会导致服用者体重的增加，而体重的增加又会影响自尊心。对自己臃肿的身态表示不满、沮丧或者不好意思面对亲友。尤其是当亲友对你的身材做出评价时，更觉得不好意思了。如果你在吃药的同时又不想长肉，便采取了节食的方法，其导致的后果会非常糟糕。相反，如果体重增加了，那就“既来之则安之”，如果你真的想让自己瘦下来，那就请你的主治大夫给你订一个瘦身计划，千万不要节食！你现在唯一要做的，就是“温和的”对待自己增长的体重，即使是因为药物导致您的体重增加。
