No GLP‑1 or incretin drug is FDA-approved for psychiatric conditions. The trials below are studies, not approvals, and most drugs tested in a new condition never get approved for it.

No GLP-1 or incretin drug is approved for psychiatric conditions, so everything below is investigational. Most drugs tested in a new condition never reach approval for it, and a registration is not evidence of benefit. 7 of the 11 trials on file are phase 3 or later — the stage sized for a regulator to act on, against 4 still in early phases. 9 distinct sponsors are involved.
