Management of Antipsychotic Medication Associated Obesity - 2
This program aims to help Veterans who take antipsychotic medications lose weight. We use a
program based on the American Diabetes Association's "Diabetes Prevention Program," and we
have modified it to fit the lifestyles of people with mental illness. All participants are
educated about nutrition and cutting down fat intake, how and when to exercise, and the
causes of diabetes and how to prevent it. Participants must be Veterans who live within one
hour of the Long Beach, West Los Angeles, Sepulveda, or West Los Angeles VA hospitals.
