Last week my cousin forcefully took me to see her doctor along with her. She goes to her for a regular check up as she insisted me to check the body weight; we found that I had put on weight though my body has not gone disproportionate. I felt really bad as I am still struggling with some of my personal problems in my life. I am on anti depressant pills.

A few months back, I had read some where that depression and body weight are connected. Does that means that I had gained weight because of consuming anti depressant pills? Is it a proven fact? Can I loose weight now?

Please help me out with some suggestions or tips for loosing weights. Do I need to pursue some specialized treatment course or exercise in comparison to normal weight loss programs or exercises??? Has any body come across any individual who has put on weight due to depression? I will be delighted if anybody can shed more light and make things clearer to me.
