Weight-loss drug Ozempic ‘intricately' involved in feelings of ‘desire' and ‘reward'
Psychiatrist Sally Kelderman discusses the weight-loss drug Ozempic. 'The current state of scientific thinking is that we have glucagon-like peptide receptors in our brains, naturally occurring – Ozempic works to enhance the effect of naturally occurring glucagon-like peptide,' Dr Kelderman told Sky News host Sharri Markson. 'And that is intricately involved in the experience of desire and reward in such a way that it dampens our sense of reward.'

Consequences of weight-loss drug Ozempic revealed
Psychiatrist Sally Kelderman discusses the consequences of the weight-loss drug Ozempic. 'My perspective is very psychiatric – so, a lot of people who struggle with their weight or substance abuse are sad and unmotivated for many complex reasons,' Dr Kelderman told Sky News host Sharri Markson. 'If we're going to find people losing their sense of pleasure, we so need to watch out to see whether they're losing their desire to live. 'I'm expecting doctors will be asking people in the Ozempic receiving population whether they have any preexisting depression or thoughts of self-harm in any way.'

Elderly raise funds at annual fair
Residents of Methodist Homes' Queenswood Home held their annual fair this past weekend, where visitors were treated to 30 different stalls for their various shopping needs. The fair offered the attendees a range of food, clothing and crafts to choose from, including a pudding table, a tea garden and white elephant table, as well as knitting circles. Queenswood Home has been a cherished sanctuary for retirees since 1974, and the fair comes around once a year during the winter to help raise funds for the home. It currently accommodates two different sections, one being independent living with 50 units and a care centre where there are another 26 beds. The village manager, Hannetjie Kelderman, says that today's economy has made fairs such as these all the more important, as the home doesn't receive any government assistance. 'The fair definitely helps with raising funds to help make the stay of the residents more comfortable, and they decide what happens with the money raised today. They will come to me and say, 'This is what we want to do with the money'. But we're definitely getting to a place where people can't afford to live in old-age homes, and we have to find ways to make it easier for them,' Kelderman says. She says community members must foster a stronger sense of community, and it doesn't have to be through financial means, but can be through volunteering your time. The home is also looking forward to the High Tea event coming up this August. Do you have more information about the story? Please send us an email to bennittb@ or phone us on 083 625 4114.
