A new study warns that GLP-1 weight loss drugs like Ozempic may increase the risk of depression and suicidal ideation. Researchers found a link between these drugs and genetic pathways that may predispose certain individuals to depressive symptoms. The study identified important genes tied to mood and reward regulation that could be disrupted by the drugs, leading to depressive symptoms and mood disorders. The authors urge caution in prescribing these drugs and call for re-evaluation of their widespread use.
