Can Cosmetic Botox Cause Anxiety or Trigger Mental Health Conditions?

I have not seen any evidence that Botox can cause anxiety or adverse mental health conditions but interestingy there is evidence that it can do the opposite by improving mood. There are standardized ways of measuring mood and emotional state, and it has been found that Botox often improves scores. It is thought to be related to how anxiety is expressed by furrowing the brow; interrupting that with Botox seems to change the exerience of stress and anxiety.

the good news is that botox used for cosmetic purposes in the limited amounts typically injected do not cause any problem...regulatory agencies typically list an enormous number of so-called side effects for every prescription agent...but for botox these represent nothing more than the same complaints noted by people receiving an inactive placebo...interestingly people who complain of anxiety after their first botox injection rarely voice the same complaint with subsequent treatments...why?...well the fear of the unknown is no longer present...and some reports hint that botox may actually reduce depressive symptoms, anxiety and irritability...
