Abstract:
Ukraine has been at war for almost a year. This cannot but affect the mental
health of the nation. Anxiety-depressive disorders (ADD) and other manifestations of
psychological health disorders are increasingly registered among our citizens. At the same
time, it is well known that certain groups of antipsychotic and antidepressant drugs have an
impact on body weight (BW).
Material and methods: By design, the study involved 154 patients aged 18 to 55 years who
were not diagnosed with obesity prior to the war. The study was conducted at the Department
of Family Medicine and Polyclinic Therapy of the Odesa National Medical University. By
design, patients were divided into three groups: 1 group - patients who received
antipsychotics for the treatment of ADD; 2 group - patients who received antidepressants and
group 3 - patients who did not receive pharmacological treatment of ADD.
