Understanding the Relationship Between Low Cholesterol and Depression, Addiction and Suicide Risk

Presented by psychiatrist James Greenblatt MD, this one hour webinar explores the relationship between low cholesterol, brain function, and mental illness. Research conducted over the past several decades has consistently identified robust associations between low cholesterol and mental illness. Hypocholesterolemia has been linked to a range of psychiatric conditions including depression, addiction, aggression, violent behaviors, and suicide; how low cholesterol is a robust biomarker of psychiatric risk; and strategies for treating very low cholesterol for improvement in a wide range of mental health conditions.
