For the category of other, I had severe suicidal thoughts and actions that were far worse and more realistic when I was on meds. For weight gain, it is more about how the rest of my body reacts to extra weight with higher blood pressure and cholesterol and general weakness rather than what I look like, though I can say I look a heck of a lot better now that I have dropped 40 of the 75 lbs that meds put on me. At the moment I am med free and I want to keep it that way through lifestyle and nutrition/supplementation.
