I've started taking a new medicine called Abilify, and I'm really trying to manage my weight. My friend mentioned that some psychiatric medicines can cause weight gain. Is Abilify one of those medications that commonly leads to weight gain?

Yes, weight gain is a common side effect of Abilify, though it usually causes less weight gain compared to other antipsychotics. It is because it can increase your appetite. Try to monitor your portions and talk to your prescribing doctor if you notice sudden changes.
