Can Cosmetic Botox Cause Anxiety or Trigger Mental Health Conditions?

honeyd
Hello Doctors I've heard that Botox can cause anxiety and can trigger mental health conditions. I'm wondering if there is any proof/evidence of this? The only way I could imagine this could happen would be if the Botox entered the bloodstream and somehow interacted with the brain? Your views on this would be much appreciated, thank you!
