Hi,
Im Aarthi. Im 35 yrs old. Im on antidepressants since my 20 yrs. At the age of 27 i was diagnosed bipolar disorder.
And till now im taking medication.
Im on lithium sr for the first year.
But i got hypothyroidism.
So my doctor changed my medicines.
I thought my weight gain was due to hypothyroidism.
Im on thyronorm 75 mcg. My thyroid levels are
under control now.
im 67 kgs now. but my body and face looks puffy.. Particularly my face looks puffy.
Doctor suggested me to take cortisol hormone test.
Is there any treatment to control cortisol hormone. Pls advice.

Hello,
For weight gain you need lifestyle modifications.
Do the test... Treatment will be decided after seeing the test.
