If you remove someone's coping skills, they may have an increase in mental health symptomatology because of that.
I would say, in my opinion, these medications, especially in the realm of addiction, should not be used in a kind of vacuum.
I think especially if you're having severe symptoms,
alcohol use disorder, severe opioid use disorder, and you're thinking about or using GLP-1s as part of that treatment, that you're really engaged with mental health professionals.
The degree is up to you if you need outpatient therapy or something like we offer at Karen Treatment Centers with really intensive inpatient therapies.
But I think, again, the idea of learning a different song is really important with these medications and just doing one thing.
We're actually seeing that with weight loss, too.
If people use the time on these medications to learn new healthy lifestyles, they can actually build health in a different way, in a different direction.
I think that correlation also exists in the addiction and mental health space.
Yeah, I would encourage everyone.
My mantras of trust and also honesty, like with their health care providers really share what's going on, what your experience is.
These medications in every person's journey is going to be unique.
And I think the more that patients are sharing with their doctors, the more that we can respond and help both treat symptoms and also guide therapy into maybe we need to add something or take away something or lean into something a little bit more.
I think that's the way medicine should be, highly personalized and highly patient-focused.
Mm-hmm.
Yeah, this all kind of builds off the same conversation.
Back to the record analogy, I think it really depends on if you learn a different song.
So with the weight loss...
I think we're showing now that if patients use that time to really understand their habits, build healthier habits around exercise, food choice, protein intake, and really focus on maintaining some degree of lean muscle mass, that they have a better chance of that weight staying off.
The truth is we don't know in the realm of cravings if there'll be some rebound effect.
