A psychologist friend shared with me an interesting finding last Christmas, over roast chicken and our neighbour’s scrumptious sheperd’s pie.
We had just launched into a hearty discussion about botulinum toxin treatment (commonly referred to by the trade name ”Botox”) and its psychological effects.
“ Do you know that botox can improve your mood, and perhaps even treat depression?” said my friend
Hmm, I have suspected that for some time. Patients, following their first treatment with botulinum toxin, reported that they felt better than they had in a long while.
“There is research, which showed that patients who had treatments to their frown lines were able to maintain a positive mood more easily, compared to patients who did not have the treatments,” she added, citing the study findings.
Also these findings were independent of whether the patients in the study were deemed attractive or otherwise.
