Ozempic Shows Promising Mental Health and Cognitive Benefits

New studies suggest Ozempic may reduce suicide risk in teens and aid in cognitive health for adults.

Research indicates a 33% reduction in suicidal thoughts among adolescents using GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic for obesity treatment.
A study of 7,000 adolescents found lower rates of suicidal ideation compared to those receiving behavioral interventions.
Semaglutide, the active ingredient in Ozempic, is being explored for its potential to treat conditions beyond diabetes, including depression and dementia.
Studies suggest semaglutide's anti-inflammatory properties may protect against cognitive decline and reduce addiction cravings.
While promising, experts advise that GLP-1 drugs should not yet be considered treatments for mental health issues.
