Ozempic and mental health: LUMC doctor discusses pros and cons

According to a doctor from the LUMC, Ozempic not only affects physical well-being but also mental health. The drug, often used in the treatment of diabetes and obesity, could have both positive and negative effects.

The doctor emphasizes that some patients notice improvements in their mental state due to weight loss and better blood sugar levels. On the other hand, there can also be negative consequences, such as mood swings or worsening of existing mental health conditions.

It is important to discuss these effects with a doctor. The LUMC doctor advises to remain alert to any changes in mood or behavior when using Ozempic.
