Her work is focused on psychotic meds and depression. She has been investigating how to use medications to prevent weight gain caused by antipsychotic meds. For,example, look at papers #5 and #6:
5. "Mifepristone reduces weight gain and improves metabolic abnormalities associated with risperidone treatment in normal men."
6. "The efficacy of mifepristone in the reduction and prevention of olanzapine-induced weight gain in rats."
"Olanzapine is an antipsychotic medication used to treat schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. It is usually classed with the atypical antipsychotics, the newer generation of antipsychotics. It appears to have slightly greater effectiveness in treating schizophrenia. Olanzapine, however, has a higher risk of causing metabolic side effects like weight gain, gynecomastia, impotence and type 2 diabetes than the typical antipsychotics."
It is very common in medicine to find other uses for a drug than those for which it was invented.
So she is looking for ways to counteract a bad side effect of a new, potent class of antipsychotic medications. You don't want crazy people going off their meds because they made them get fat.
Mind you, I'm not a doctor, but still...
She sounds like she has sampled the psychotic meds many times she must have a pinched brain nerve or two.
