Antidepressants are drugs that may cause weight gain as a side effect. Correct answer: C

There are several possibilities why: Some antidepressants may trigger food cravings, particularly for carbohydrates, they may also affect metabolism...

The depression itself leads to weight gain. Overeating can also be a symptom of depression that can cause weight gain regardless of taking antidepressants.
