Study links weight loss drugs to suicidal thoughts
A South Korean study has shown that the use of weight loss medications is associated with increased rates of depression and suicidal thoughts among users. Specifically, 22% of users report experiencing depression, compared to 11% of non-users, and 10% report suicidal thoughts, compared to 4.5% of others. Researchers indicated that individuals who regained more weight after using GLP-1 medications are more likely to experience suicidal thoughts, with the risk increasing by 267% among those who regained more than 10 kg. The scientists emphasized that the study is observational and does not establish that these medications cause psychological issues, calling for further research to better understand the relationship.
