Summary

This study looked at 90 veterans with obesity who took GLP-1 medicines (semaglutide or tirzepatide) for six months. Researchers found that participants reported significant improvements in depression symptoms, eating disorder behaviors, and overall quality of life, including less pain and better sleep. The findings suggest these weight loss drugs may offer mental health benefits beyond their primary use.
