Background In the last year, one in five Portuguese (23 %) suffered
from a mental illness and almost half (43 %) has suffered, once in a lifetime, of these disorders. (Furtado et al., 2010) Data
indicated that patients with persistent mental illness have higher
obesity prevalence, comparing with general populations (Daumit et al. 2003).
It aims to study the patient profile related to Anthropometric data (body mass index–BMI, body fat percentage–BF%), Energy consumption and Psychotropic Therapy of patients with
psychiatric disorders treated with psychotropic drugs. It aims also to
verify the correlation between Energy consumption and Anthropometry data with Psychotropic therapy.
