Can Drugs Like Ozempic Treat the Most Common Eating Disorder?
Briefly

"People taking drugs like Ozempic say their appetites evaporate. The constant food noise in their heads wondering what they'll eat next, and when goes quiet."
"Scientists aren't entirely sure what causes the condition, but one theory is that binge eating is a compulsive behavior, involving the same brain circuits that help us form habits and contribute to addiction."
"The hope is that the new generation of drugs can give people newfound control over the impulse to binge."
"There was something missing in my brain, and it's fixed now, said Joanie Smith, 66, who has taken Ozempic since 2022."
