title: [Adverse effects of psychiatric drugs on glucose and lipids metabolism].
abstract: Psychiatric drugs bring indeniable benefits for the treatment of psychiatric disorders. But their use can come along with a varying degree of side effects, some of them known for a long time, and some that are at present starting to focus attention. In this group we can find metabolic side effects, because of their possible relationship with the mortality of patients with severe psychiatric disorders. In this article, effects of psychiatric drugs on glucose and lipids metabolism are revised.
