Antidepressants and weight gain

When Aaliyah began taking antidepressants two years ago, she started gaining a lot of weight. “I think I’ve put on about 12 or 13 kgs in the last year and a half, which is a lot for me. It’s a huge change from what I’ve been used to my whole life,” she said.

An unhealthy relationship with food

Aaliyah shared that she started having a really unhealthy relationship with food, which affected her mental health. “People started commenting about my weight which affected my mental health. A couple of weeks ago, I got a massage lady to come and give me a massage at home. This is the lady I used to call about a year ago when I lived in my old apartment,” she said.

The impact of comments on body image

Aaliyah said that people should never comment about someone’s weight. “Whether you look skinny, fit, or whatever because you don’t know their struggle with their body. You don’t know their relationship with their body. I don’t think it’s a good idea to comment,” she added.
