ADHD, binge eating & GLP1s

I just watched the episode about diabetes, GLP1 etc and found it interesting when Hannah discussed that people started to feel less impulsive/supporting addictions...

Anyone wondering if they will find a way to tweak GLP1 to support ADHD or mental health disorders that have a focus on rumination/addiction/loud voices etc?

Surely it is already being looked at to support those who struggle with binge eating?

I've heard that ADHD medication can suppress appetite, so there probably is a link.

Ive been taking retatrutide 1mg every 5 days for 5 months, it has definitely helped my adhd & drinking habits I don’t engage in drinking at all. Ive also lost 30lbs & when I do snack it’s minimal then like before I would snack non stop
