A recently conducted study has cast Botox into the category of “possible anti-depressant”.

Botox, normally used to relax fine lines and to diminish the appearance of wrinkles, has been found to make people happier. The theory is that because the active neuroxin in the botox disables the use of certain muscles, it can actually reduce the amount of emotional expression. The loss of the ability to frown for instance, has been found to limit the human brain’s ability to feel deep, helpless sadness.

While this is still in the “theory” phase of research, there has been documented evidence that shows it could be more of a reality than one might think.
The broader point is that Botox® could offer a cheaper alternative to more traditional anti-depressants which can cost up to $2,000 a year per medication. While Botox only administered a handful of times per year could cut that cost in the half and make you look younger.
