Yes: Yes, you can become a bodybuilder from consistent exercise and healthy diet while on psychiatric medications. However, you should stay away from diet pills, steroids, or any other drugs bodybuilders might use to artificially increase their musculature. These drugs can worsen or cause psychosis and mood conditions, and you would not want to add such potential complications to your own situation.
