Possibly some of them could also be unintentionally countering the impacts through things like self-medicating with caffeine.
I have no personal experience with GLP-1s but suddenly quitting caffeine after decades of daily use was pretty eye-opening in terms of how much it was boosting my baseline mood. And I'm not talking about being cranky for a couple of days after quitting, I'm talking about a very noticeable sustained change from when I was a frequent caffeine user to when I stopped having it altogether.
