3 d • Em cardiologia, o colesterol mais baixo costuma ser o objetivo. Mas na neurologia - e especialmente na saúde mental - essa mesma métrica pode ser uma bandeira vermelha.
Aqui está o que muitas pessoas (e praticantes) não percebem:
👉 Seu cérebro é o órgão mais denso em colesterol do seu corpo.
👉 Cerca de 25% do colesterol total do seu corpo vive no cérebro.
👉 O colesterol é essencial para a formação da bainha de mielina, integridade das sinapses e sinalização de neurotransmissores.
E quando o colesterol fica muito baixo, as coisas podem dar terrivelmente errado.
🔹 Colesterol total baixo (especialmente <160 mg/dL) has been repeatedly linked to:
Increased risk of depression
Higher rates of suicidal ideation and attempts
Impaired serotonin receptor function
Slower cognitive performance in aging populations
A 2020 study in Psychiatry Research found that individuals with lower cholesterol levels had a significantly higher risk of suicide attempts, independent of other risk factors.
And emerging research is exploring links between statin use and neuropsychiatric side effects in vulnerable groups.
This doesn’t mean cholesterol is always good, or that high levels are harmless.
But it does mean that context matters.
What protects your arteries may not always protect your mind.
In addiction recovery and mental health, we often see individuals with:
— Malabsorption
— Poor fat intake
— Overmedication
— Nervous system dysregulation
And we also see total cholesterol levels in the 130s or 140s.
That’s not “healthy”—that’s a brain without building blocks.
💡 Maybe it’s time for cardiologists and neurologists to have a deeper conversation.
Because optimizing brain health isn’t always about “lower is better.”
Sometimes, it’s about having enough.
