The blockbuster weight loss drug sold as Ozempic and Wegovy [has, on 21 March, gone] generic in countries that are home to 40 percent of the world’s population, significantly lowering the price of a costly medicine that had been largely unaffordable to nearly all but the wealthiest people. On Saturday, Novo Nordisk, the company that until now has had a monopoly on selling the drug, will lose patent protection in several of the world’s most populous countries. The first generic versions are expected to arrive in India as soon as this weekend. In the coming months, the generics are also expected to become available in China, Canada, Brazil, Turkey and South Africa.

Ok so putting aside the fact that i talked about having ADHD and it being a big contributor to my eating habits. I list a bunch of physical health problems and how they dorectly impact my ability to lose weight and you question my mental health?

I think its clear that in terms of mental health, you are the one with problems. You are narrow minded, you have a bit of a god complex based on your other comments in this thread, you are arrogant and seemingly ignorant to all of it. What kind of person does it take to give a bad opinion, have that opinion challenged with genuinely good points but still turn around and "no you" it back to me?

The only thing your comment fails to address is everything i said. Its clearly unintelligent, backing down, goalpost moving trash.
