I'm a healthy 24 y/o female. i'm interested in starting ssris for depression and anxiety. how likely is it that these meds will cause weight gain?

You wont know: until you are stabilized on medication. (If varies from individual to individual) If you have decreased appetite from depression and the depression lifts with medication you might find yourself wanting to eat more. A healthy diet and the right amounts and types of exercise usually can help if this occurs.
