[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here's my theory: many overweight and obese people eat to soothe their emotional pain. Take away or diminish appetite and there's no mode of self soothing. Without that comfort, the pain emerges and the suicide ideation begins or they find something else to soothe the pain.

Oh for Pete’s sake. Honestly sometimes I wonder if the people who hate these drugs so much suffer from brain function loss due to caloric deprivation. [/quote]

It’s a valid theory. Just weight loss on its own can cause depression, regardless of the method. Rapid weight loss can change hormones so quickly that it causes mental changes. And it is a thing that people think losing weight is going to solve all of their problems, and when it doesn’t they feel depressed.

That might not be everyone’s experience, obviously, but just because people point out possible problems with the medication doesn’t mean they hate it.[/quote]

It’s a plainly idiotic theory. Seriously, when did we start entertaining the ramblings of the scientifically illiterate so much in this society? Dumb theories should be laughed at and tossed, not considered because someone threw together an incoherent stream of words. [/quote]

You are welcome to ignore it. That’s the very definition of not entertaining it. The opposite is shouting people down. We have seen how effective that is recently. [/quote]

No. Scientific illiteracy like the PPs stupid “theory” needs to be called out. The non-response to idiotic theories causes massive health crises in our world. Arrant nonsense like what the PP wrote keeps people from getting true help for the medical problem of obesity (which includes evaluation for drugs like Wegovy).

By the way, I also think HAES is scientifically illiterate nonsense that needs to be called out. There is stupidity on all sides of this discussion. [/quote]
