GLP-1 Receptor Agonists and Risk of Suicide or Suicide Attempts – A Nationwide Cohort and Self-Controlled Case Series Study
A nationwide Danish registry study examined whether glucagon‑like peptide‑1 receptor agonists (GLP‑1 RAs) increase suicide or suicide attempts compared with active comparators—SGLT‑2 and DPP‑4 inhibitors. Across two new‑user cohorts totaling over 200,000 GLP‑1 RA initiators, adjusted hazard ratios showed no elevated risk (HR 0.93 vs SGLT‑2; HR 0.58 vs DPP‑4). A self‑controlled case series further revealed lower incidence rate ratios during both early and late treatment periods. The findings counter earlier safety signals and suggest GLP‑1 RAs do not raise suicidal behavior risk.
