1)My dr said the increased risk of diabetes was only concurrent with weight gain from the antidepressants. So if you don't get weight gain from them then your risk wasn't increased. And exercising, whatever your weight, had the usual decreasing of risk.
So it isn't direct. It is the side effects of the antidepressant that increased the risk. So healthy eating and healthy exercise levels can effectively counteract that risk just fine. Yay!

2) god I'm glad I'm not on benzodiazipine then.
