Weight loss jabs can boost mental health

Experts believe appetite-suppressing drugs lower inflammation in the brain.

They want them to be trialled to treat mental illness following studies involving 26,000 adults in 19 countries.

Swiss researchers found the weekly jabs improved mood, wellbeing and quality of life measures more than insulin and other antidiabetic drugs.

Author Dr Sigrid Breit said the medication “may have antidepressant and anti-anxiety effects, potentially due to their anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidative properties, which can also help reduce neuroinflammation”.
