I wonder how much of the mental health side effects are actually caused by GLPs and how much is caused by the patient no longer being able to self medicate their anxiety with overeating.

If the weight loss were combined with talk therapy or resistance training or anything else that has been demonstrated to help with anxiety, what kind of outcomes would we see?

There's a lady over on LinkedIn who rails against 'The Addiction Economy' and the title image in her website is "it's not you; it's them" I've had arguments with her on how this denial of agency, waiting for others to save you, will never work and I think you've given me a great answer as to why that's the case. https://www.theaddictioneconomy.com/
