 Thirty patients, 18 - 50 years of age, who are being started on a first-line, second-generation, antipsychotic associated with weight gain risperidone, olanzapine, or quetiapine for the treatment of an affective or psychotic disorder, will be invited to participate. Participants must not have taken any of these antipsychotics or clozapine in the preceding three months. Another twenty psychiatric controls not taking antipsychotic medications will also be enrolled.
