In a press release, Ruben Abagyan Ph.D. professor of pharmacy, one of the lead researchers in the study, stated that “clinicians have observed for years that Botox injections for beauty causes seem to ease depression for their sufferers.”

It’s believed that by reducing extreme frown lines in the brow region, you can disrupt a feedback loop that reinforces negative feelings. We’ve found that the mechanism is more advanced because it does not matter where the Botox injections are made,” the creator stated in a news release.

The research group at the Skaggs School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Science at College of California San Diego has combed through the U.S. The Food and Drug Administration’s Adversarial impact Reporting System database (FAERS) was used to examine the adverse effects reported by nearly 40,000 people who received Botox injections.

The treatments weren’t just in the brow but included numerous different sites, including the neck, limbs, and brow. Researchers used an algorithm in the release to find statistical differences between patients who received Botox for a particular problem and those who did not.

According to the release, the researchers found that Botox users reported feelings of despair 40-88 percent less often for six out of eight instances and injection sites.

This finding is exciting because it offers a new treatment to affect mood and combat depression, one among many common and dangerous psychological illnesses — and it is based on a very large body of statistical data, rather than limited-scale observation,” Tigran Makunts PharmD, a researcher in the study, stated within the release.

According to the study, further analysis is needed to determine how Botox acts as an unquestionable antidepressant. Researchers have several theories that need further investigation. They hypothesized that Botox was absorbed systemically into the central nervous system which deals with temper and feelings.

Health experts say that Botox can be used for a variety of reasons, including wrinkles and muscle spasms. It is also prescribed for migraines, temporomandibular dysfunction, extreme sweating, bladder problems, and other conditions.

According to the release, the FAERS data used in this study was not only gathered with the intention of examining the link between Botox & despair. The data represents only a subgroup Botox users who have reported unfavorable side effects. The authors note that they did not include information from patients who were taking antidepressants. However, it is possible in some cases, that the use of medications was underreported.

The release said that a scientific study is currently underway to investigate Botox treatment for people with depression, but it only tests brow injection sites. The authors stated that further trials were needed to determine which site is best to inject Botox to treat despair.

According to the World Health Group, more than 264 millions people worldwide experience despair.
