Can depression just be sprayed away?

"Off label", without approval. Tillmann Krüger chooses this treatment method again and again. The psychiatrist heads the department of clinical psychology and sexual medicine at the Hannover Medical School - and he has been giving his depression patients injections with Botox, a drug that is approved for migraine and wrinkles, for a long time - but not to treat a mental illness.

Krüger's patients therefore have to pay 100 euros per treatment themselves, unless they take part in a study. But still, says Krüger: "The patients are enthusiastic." Because for many, Botox against depression is the alternative to the classic psychotropic drugs. The antidepressant effect lasts for three to six months, after which the effect of the neurotoxin wears off and you have to inject again.

Is it really that simple? Can depression be sprayed away like wrinkles? In fact, Botox has been shown to help with depression in several studies.
