APA: Higher BMI Associated with Worse Bipolar Outcomes

Kudos, fatsos.

"Bipolar patients who are obese are significantly less likely to respond to lithium than those of normal weight, a researcher said here.

And those who have an elevated body mass index (BMI) but aren't obese have an intermediate likelihood of responding to the drug, according to Cynthia Calkin, M.D., of Dalhousie University in Halifax. The differences in response by BMI were significant at P=0.01."

Maybe they should look into schizophrenia since the fatties are eating for at least two.
