Olanzapine is known to cause weight gain and induce Diabetes mellitus type 2 more frequently than other antipsychotics. On the other hand, it has less of a chance of producing tardive dyskinesia or an extrapyramidal reaction and also seems to treat schizophrenia very effectively.<ref>Leucht, S., Cipriani, A., Spineli, L., Mavridis, D., Örey, D., Richter, F., ... & Kissling, W.
