I don't agree with this. Their primary mandate is to manage your mental health needs. It is unfortunate that medication causes weight gain but this is a fact of life when you take it. Mental health care needs by far outweigh the side effects of weight gain. I don't believe they are ignoring that this happens. In my own experience my healthcare providers have acknowledged this is going to happen and feel badly about it but they have informed me up front that this is going to happen. I can choose to manage mental health or I can ignore it. But they won't support the later.
