Glucagon-Like Peptide-1 Receptor Agonists and Risk of Depression: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

Bi Z, Jiao Z, Li J, Fang Z

Summary

This comprehensive meta-analysis evaluated the association between GLP-1 receptor agonist use and depression risk across multiple studies. The analysis examined psychiatric safety signals in patients treated with semaglutide, liraglutide, and other GLP-1 RAs, addressing the ongoing FDA-mandated scrutiny of mental health outcomes with incretin-based therapies.

Clinical Significance

Critical safety data for prescribers managing the growing population on GLP-1 RAs for obesity and diabetes. With over 12% of US adults having used GLP-1 drugs, understanding psychiatric risk profiles is essential for informed clinical decision-making and patient counseling.
