I am using the amsthm
package to have environment.
I also use \usepackage[onehalfspacing]{setspace}
to have 1.5 line spacing.
However, when I use the the theorem environment, the spacing before is not done correctly. It gives me a normal line spacing instead of the 1.5-line spacing.
Lets say I have:
First paragraph
Second paragraph
Third paragraph
\begin{theorem} Bla bla. \end{theorem}
I get something like this:
First paragraph
Second paragraph
Third paragraph
Theorem 1. Bla bla.
Do you know how I can change this?

I actually found out the answer to my question by going the ECM route.
What was causing the problem was that I was using the parskip package with the option parfill, so that paragraphs, instead of starting with a blank indent, would start with no indent but separated by a blank line. ECM:
I found out that I wasn't the first one to have the problem. The solution is to add:
in the preamble after calling the amsthm package. It will redefine the theorems environment (or any user-defined environment) by adding the warranted extra space at the beginning. The extra space is not hard-coded , so if you remove the parskip package from your preamble, everything returns to the default spacing: nice!
Hope this helps!
