Agreed, and for anyone with an eating-disorder history this needs a clinician in the loop rather than a forum. The same drug can be therapeutic in binge-eating disorder and actively harmful in a restrictive disorder.

Saving this. It is the first explanation that did not require me to already understand it.

Filing a mild objection. Mild because I might be wrong; an objection because nobody has addressed the case that does not fit.

Rapid weight loss, a large deficit and disrupted sleep produce low mood on their own, and separating that from a drug effect is genuinely hard.
Happy to go further on any of that.
