Video Summary:
Do GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic and semaglutide mess with your mental health? Dr. K breaks down the science behind GLP-1 agonists—how capping dopamine spikes (not baseline dopamine) cuts cravings for alcohol, nicotine, and compulsive shopping, but may increase pornography use. Dr. K also unpacks the contested research on depression and suicidality risk, why weight loss can improve mood in obese patients but trigger depression in normal-weight users, and why these drugs help binge eating disorder while potentially worsening anorexia.
