Ozempic,Weight Loss

Even if someone has gone through a healing process with body image or their relationship with food, these challenges can 'last a lifetime,' a licensed mental health counselor tells CBS News.

While research has looked at the potential mental health impact of taking semaglutide drugs like Ozempic, less has been discussed on how the increase in these drugs are impacting those who aren't taking them. Heather Young said she's struggled with weight her entire life, telling CBS News that her teen years and early adulthood were filled with trying 'one thing after another only to fail again and again and again and just feel so defeated.

'And that's not really what these were made for.' The buzz has also created high demand, prompting companies like Costco and Hims & Hers to get in on the GLP-1 boom as well as dangerous counterfeits that have popped up on social media.Young isn't alone in her feelings, either.
