New research has found that Botox injections could potentially help treat depression.

To investigate whether Botox might help ease depressive symptoms, researchers at the Skaggs School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences at University of California San Diego looked at reports from nearly 40,000 people in the US Food and Drug Administration ’s Adverse Effect Reporting System database, which contains more than 13 million voluntary reports of adverse effects people have experienced while taking a medication.

The findings, published in the journal Scientific Reports, showed that depression was reported 40 to 88 percent less often by patients who had Botox for six of the eight conditions – hyperhidrosis , facial wrinkles, migraine, spasticity and spasms – than patients undergoing different treatments for the same conditions.
