Game-Changers in Mental Health: The Role of GLP-1 Receptor Agonists

We are pleased to announce a new Article Collection in Psychology Research and Behavior Management, dedicated to the game-changing role of GLP-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) in psychological treatment and behavior management. Since their clinical introduction, GLP-1 RAs have revolutionized patient care beyond metabolic and cardiovascular diseases, offering significant benefits in reward regulation, cognitive functions, behaviour control, and mental health for eligible populations.
Given the global importance of GLP-1 RAs in management of psychological disorders, Psychology Research and Behavior Management invites submissions of original research articles, reviews, and perspectives exploring the clinical efficacy, safety, mechanisms of action, and real-world application of these transformative therapies.

The collection, edited by Editor-In-Chief Dr. Igor Elman, will be included in Taylor & Francis’ Game Changer Series. This series features Article Collections focused on breakthrough therapies, drugs, or technologies that have significantly altered the standard of care, leading to game-changing improvements in patient outcomes. Papers published within the Game Changer series will benefit from additional promotional activities across Taylor and Francis, increasing the discoverability and visibility of your research.

While the call is open to receive manuscripts across the broad spectrum of GLP-1 Receptor Agonists in mental health, the Editors are particularly interested in manuscripts relating to the following areas:

  • Effects of GLP-1 Receptor Agonists on Psychological Factors in Patients with Metabolic Disorders
  • Effects of GLP-1 Receptor Agonists on Mental Health Disorders
  • Temporal trends in GLP-1 Receptor Agonists’ Effects on Mental Health
  • GLP-1 Receptor Agonists’ Effects on Reward Function, Suicidality, Anxiety, or Depression

All manuscripts submitted to this Article Collection will undergo a full peer-review; the Guest Advisors for this collection will not be handling the manuscripts (unless they are an Editorial Board member). Please review the journal scope and author submission instructions prior to submitting a manuscript.

Please submit your manuscript on our website. The deadline for submitting manuscripts is 1 April 2026.

Submitting authors will be eligible for a 20% discount of the Article Publishing Charge by applying the following code at the point of submission 25CF5. If you have any queries regarding the Article Collection or would like to discuss a submission, then please email the Commissioning Editor Sam Zhang at [email protected].
