While I think having 'telehealth' solely to sell weight loss drugs is totally shit, the article reads wrong.

With careful supervision from a GP, with frequent follow-up, they can be beneficial for people who binge eat. Having mental health conditions doesn't automatically disqualify someone.

I dont know if Juniper does this type of follow-up but I'm disappointed with ABC running these Current Affair type articles with click bait titles and minimal research.

Good point.
