Do fake smiles lead to depression?


I've heard before that fake smiles lead to depression, but I've also heard that not smiling leads to depression, and that even fake smiles make you happy. Which is right?

Laughter and smiling reduce the level of stress hormones like cortisol, epinephrine (adrenaline), dopamine and growth hormone. It also increases the level of health-enhancing hormones like endorphins, and neurotransmitters. Laughter increases the number of antibody-producing cells and enhances the effectiveness of T cells. All this means a stronger immune system, as well as fewer physical effects of stress.

I think depression leads to fake smiles. I don't think fake smiles lead to depression. I think brain chemicals lead to depression. I don't know if fake smile affect brain chemicals.
