Happy pills are linked to a higher risk of diabetes: Antidepressants can cause weight gain, leading to condition
Researchers say the risk is for all antidepressants, not just some types
The pills could put hundreds of thousands at risk of type 2 diabetes
The increased risk could be because people on antidepressants are more likely to be overweight and this is a risk factor for diabetes
Scientists think the pills may also be an independent risk factor
