The answer is Ozempic seems to do this already.

My theory is that something goes haywire in the body and causes many issues. Obesity being the most visible of these but far from the only issue.

GLP-1 agonists reverse this thing that went haywire and fix many issues

Or... Non-obese people average better mental health than obese people.

That article is all just correlation. Which cause is more likely?

As a thin and anxious person, I hope that's not the whole story.

Ozempic appears to fix some problems unrelated to obesity. It improves autoimmune conditions for example and opioid addiction.

The improved mental health and decision making effects of this drug present well before people lose meaningful amounts of weight.

Definitely not true.
