By which means do atypical antipsychotics cause one to gain weight?

…more specifically, Seroquel (generic: quetiapine). I am wondering if the medication causes you to eat more (or even crave fattier foods) and that is why you gain weight. Or, another way would be because it slows down or somehow alters your metabolism in a way that you gain weight. Or maybe does it cause you to be more tired (a known symptom of Seroquel) and therefore less active so you gain weight?
Using Fluther
