Depression Changes Brain Areas

A comprehensive study involving more than 23,000 brain scans revealed that depression is not limited to the upper regions of the brain associated with thinking and feelings; its effects also extend to the sensory, motor, and visual areas. This may help explain physical symptoms such as slowed movements and feelings of heaviness in the limbs. The study did not find significant changes in subcortical regions like the hippocampus, nor was there evidence of functional disconnection within brain networks as previously thought. The findings confirm that depression is a disorder that affects the brain as a whole, encompassing both the body and the mind.
