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.
