They explore the emerging role of GLP-1s in metabolic psychiatry, including potential connections with mood disorders, cognition, reward pathways, cardiometabolic health, and psychiatric medication-associated weight gain. Dr. McIntyre also discusses what psychiatric providers should know now, where the evidence is still evolving, and what future research is needed before GLP- 1 or incretin-based therapies could be considered part of psychiatric treatment.
