Psychiatric Effects of GLP-1s (What We Know So Far)

In this episode, Margaret and I take on the en vogue topic of GLP-1s. They have been utilized for T2DM for several years and just recently took center stage in the zeitgeist for weight loss (medically indicated or otherwise). Today, we will break down possible risks to mental health in patients using these medications and, on the flipside, potential areas where we could possibly use GLP-1s  primarily to treat mental illness.
