Believe it or not, relying on other people to google your claims is not a good way to present evidence.
I can find confirmations and denials of literally any concept in the universe on google.
This is more a general rule when discussing medicine, not so much a denial of this specific drug.
Now, as for mental health, the FDA has added no warnings despite decades of use, and the mechanism of action strongly suggests statins would be protective if anything (by directly and significantly reducing vascular dementia). Here's a package insert from the FDA's website: https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/drugsatfda_docs/label/2012/02...
Also, I'm not raging statin advocate, the real answer is diet and exercise. The American lifestyle is a catastrophe.
