Why Do Antidepressants Raise Cholesterol Levels?

Yes, Thank you, Why do most anti-depressant medications severely raise colesterol levels and affect sugar levels? I m so discouraged. Is there any such thing as an anti-depressant med that WILL NOT affect those health concerns? Thank you so very very much. All the Best, Ms. Coyle
