Can botox cure depression? According to Pacific Standard, a magazine dedicated to the political, social, and cultural issues, the answer is yes. 

In a study conducted by Eric Finzi in 2003, nine out of 10 patients reported complete remission of their depression, while a 2006 study showed 47 percent fewer symptoms as a result of the treatment. 

So how does this even make sense? Basically, your face relays feelings back to your brain. So, if you don't look angry or sad, you won't feel those emotions either. Science, or something. Duh.
