Ozempic and Wegovy linked to surprising drop in violent behavior

A Rutgers study suggests GLP-1 drugs, including Ozempic and Wegovy, may weaken the link between impulsive tendencies and violent behavior. These medications might affect how individuals act on impulses, although researchers state that cause and effect are not yet proven. A study co-author mentioned that this association with lower levels of violent behavior indicates that GLP-1 medications could potentially function like cognitive behavioral therapy, influencing the way people respond to their internal impulses and behavioral triggers.
