increased anxiety on glp 1 GLP-1 medications used to treat diabetes and obesity may also help alleviate symptoms of and depression Tell me in the comments

investigated the impact of liraglutide 3 mg in 14 obese patients with HS, finding significant reductions in BMI, waist circumference, CRP, homocysteine, and plasma cortisol after 3 months treatment

Thats reassuring because it suggests this isnt an immune system problem, Friedman says

If the drugs are directly both improving weight reduction and cancer reduction, then we need to double down. Ganta wonders the same thing about the drugs apparent positive effects on several conditions, from dementia to sleep apnea: Is it that obesity is causing or contributing to the problem [and that weight loss is causing the improvement], or is the medication directly having an impact through a different mechanism? She hopes there will be more research to parse this out in the years to come

But insurance companies want to keep costs down themselves, so many won't cover them for weight loss, or require patients to jump through frustrating hoops to get approval for coverage
