Unhappy MORE BAD NEWS...Statins and Depression:

Recent research suggest that cholesterol lowering medication may be a cause of anxiety and depression. Even more, simply being on a cholesterol lowering diet could trigger the mental health conditions.

Now, new research suggest long-term, low levels of cholesterol in the brain may be a possible explanation for this phenomena.

Amitabha Chattopadhyay and colleagues note in the study that statins work by blocking a key enzyme involved in the body’s production of cholesterol.
