Yes, pharamaceutical industry, that makes sense. Let's give depressed, emotionally unstable women meds that will make them fat and therefore depressed and emotionally unstable because their self esteem is low. Brilliant!

Oh, and don't forget for us ladies, our natural hormone cycles can screw everything up. There's pathetically little research on how women's hormone im/balances interact with meds, etc. The pill gave me not only massive weight gain but also triggered severe mood swings - never again!
