Oops, I sent that one unfinished. Starting in the last paragraph:
I agree, and at present I think it is the most likely one. I don't mean to say that there aren't people who gain weight as a result of some specific effect of an SSRI, but when people claim that an SSRI "caused" weight gain for them, I'm always tempted to inquire more. Depression and anxiety can both cause changes in eating patterns and metabolism, and people often don't realize when they are eating more, for example.
