People who regain weight after using certain obesity drugs may experience increased odds of suicidal thoughts. This change in mental health is a potential consequence of weight regain.
The study suggests that the weight regain, rather than the initial weight loss, may be the trigger for the increased risk of suicidal thoughts. Coverage from Fox News and Science Daily reports on an observational study that analyzed data from users of GLP-1 drugs, including Ozempic and Wegovy.
The study found a link between weight regain and suicidal thoughts, but did not establish causation. The implications of this study are unclear, leaving open the question of what this means for individuals who use these drugs and experience weight regain.
