We've been trained to think that cholesterol is the devil. Hundreds of thousands of people are on statin drugs which block the body's ability to make cholesterol. Unfortunately, those statin drugs are linked to a whole lot of other medical problems, including dementia. If your cholesterol gets too low, you are at risk of increased aggression and depression(1). Bipolar disorder has also been linked to messed up blood lipid levels. Treatments that use EPA and DHA (fats!) can help. Conventional medical treatments are not always based on reality. And what the doctor told your parents may not be the answer for you.
