>Teens Treated With GLP-1 Medication Less Likely To Think About Suicide

(Jerusalem) -- Adolescents treated for obesity with GLP-1 medications like Wegovy, Ozempic and Victoza are less likely to have suicidal thoughts than those treated with behavioral interventions. That's according to a new study published this week in the journal JAMA Pediatrics, which found the risk went down as much as a third over the course of a year. The study reviewed the medical records of seven-thousand children between the ages of 12 and 18. If you or anyone you know is in crisis, call or text the 9-8-8 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline.
