Botox may be associated with the fountain of youth, however, new research suggests the cosmetic procedure could also keep your mental health in check.<\/p>\n

While only a microscopic dose is required to smooth fine lines, the medication \u2013 derived from a bacterial toxin \u2013 can be life-threatening in relatively small quantities.<\/p>\n

To better understand the potential complications of the cosmetic procedure, scientists from the University of California in San Diego\u00a0looked at the side effects experienced by nearly 40,000 patients.<\/p>\n

Results revealed having Botox, whether for cosmetic or medical reasons, reduced the risk of depression by up to 88%.<\/p>\n

Although unclear, it could \u201cfreeze\u201d areas of the central nervous system that regulate emotions, boosting a patient\u2019s mood.<\/p>\n

Botox \u2018a new treatment to fight depression\u2019<\/h3>\n

This finding is exciting because it supports a new treatment to affect mood and fight depression, one of the common and dangerous mental illnesses \u2013 and it’s based on a very large body of statistical data, rather than limited-scale observations,\u201d said co-lead author Tigran Makunts, a research fellow at the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA).<\/p>\n

Depression is a common mental disorder that can result in persistent low mood, feeling hopeless and loss of interest in activities the individual once enjoyed.<\/p>\n

It can also affect a person physically, with many losing their appetite, sex drive or ability to nod off.<\/p>\n

One in five (19.7%) people over 16 in the UK showed signs of depression or<\/a>\u00a0anxiety in 2014.<\/p>\n

In the US,\u00a0around\u00a016.1 million adults\u00a0(6.7%) experienced at least one major depressive episode in 2015<\/a>.<\/p>\n

While may turn to antidepressants or counselling, these are reportedly ineffective in around a third of patients, prompting scientists to explore options like electroconvulsive therapy and ketamine infusions.<\/p>\n

Botox patients 40% to 88% less likely to report depression<\/p>\n

Botox, an abbreviation of botulinum toxin, was reportedly discovered in poorly-prepared sausages in the 18th Century.<\/p>\n

Considered highly toxic, just a 0.000001mg dose would be required to kill a person weighing a kilogram half of the time.<\/p>\n

When used cosmetically or medically, a few billionths of a gram are administered, which is deemed perfectly safe.<\/p>\n

Far from only smoothing a wrinkled forehead, Botox can also ease migraines, muscles spasms, incontinence and heavy sweating.<\/p>\n

Although the risk of complications is small,\u00a0some develop fleeting flu-like symptoms, bruising or blurred vision<\/a>.<\/p>\n

To uncover any other side effects, the scientists combed through the FDA\u2019s Adverse Effect Reporting System, a database of more than 13 million voluntary reports.<\/p>\n

They focused on patients who had Botox for eight different reasons and at varying injection sites, including the forehead, neck, limbs and bladder.<\/p>\n

The results, published in the journal Scientific Reports, revealed\u00a0those who had Botox at six of the eight sites \u2013 not just the forehead \u2013 were between 40% and 88% less likely to report depression.<\/p>\n

For years, clinicians have observed that Botox injected for cosmetic reasons seems to ease depression for their patients,\u201d said co-lead author Dr Ruben Abagyan.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s been thought that easing severe frown lines in forehead region disrupts a feedback loop that reinforces negative emotions.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut we\u2019ve found here the mechanism may be more complex, because it doesn’t really matter where the Botox is injected.\u201d<\/p>\n

It has been suggested that since Botox eases conditions that may trigger depression, like migraines, it could indirectly boost a patient\u2019s mood.<\/p>\n

The scientists stressed the study was not designed to examine the relationship between the procedure and depression specifically.<\/p>\n

While participants on antidepressants were excluded, the team noted other prescriptions or over-the-counter drugs could have been underreported, skewing the results.<\/p>\n

A clinical trial is testing the effectiveness of Botox on people with depression, however, it is only being administered to the forehead.<\/p>\n

The scientists stressed additional clinical trials may therefore be required to gauge the optimal injection site and dose to ease the mental health disorder.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
