What if #AnthonyBourdain died from statin side effects? (Thread 6 parts)

What if it wasn't his addictive personality or anything his friends wish they could have done or said that they didn't?

Suicide was identified in early statin studies and low cholesterol is a risk factor.
If you're a Bordain fan, watch the documentary RoadRunner. The last 20 minutes friends say "he wasn't himself" "It's like he was a different person"

This is exactly what people whose loved ones are discovered to have been suffering statin induced cognitive malfunction tell me.
Why would statins cause such profound personality changes? Because the brain needs cholesterol. drcate.com/cholesterol-pi…

1. Lots of people suffer from depression. I used to suffer from it. Although it last descended on me decades ago, I still feel it in the back of my head, seeping out in the shadows of my work. It’s not an easy thing to understand, but I can try to tell you a little more...
2. The overriding mental condition of someone in a severe depressed state is one of utter futility. Nothing is worth it. Nothing has meaning. There is no point in anything. You may escape for a moment, but the dark mist is all around. Until it decides to lift, nothing matters.
3. It isn’t the same as sadness. It isn’t being fearful. It’s the darkest, loneliest nothing. When it’s especially bad, there is no hope. That’s when you think of ending it. Everyone who’s been in that place has thought of suicide. Everyone. Some take action. Most pull back.
