Clinical correlates of body weight changes in schizophrenia
The Journal of Neuropsychiatry and Clinical Neurosciences, 1994Body weight was examined in chronic schizophrenic patients. Underweight medicated patients had normal ventricular brain ratios (VBRs) on CT. Overweight patients had both normal and abnormal VBRs. Weight decreased during neuroleptic withdrawal; caloric intake and weight increased when neuroleptics were reinstituted.
