AFFECTED AREAS OF THE BRAIN

 “….the current knowledge indicates that the pathophysiology of depression may be distributed across
many brain regions and circuits”
- we weten niet juist wat er in de hersenen gebeurt
- verschillende regios zijn involved bij depressie

 Onset of depression more complex than a brain chemical imbalance
- Amygdala:
 part of a group of structures deep in the brain that’s associated with emotions
o such as anger, pleasure, sorrow, fear and sexual arousal.
 Recalling an emotionally charged memory activates the amygdala.
 Activity in the amygdala is higher when a person is sad or clinically
depressed, and this continues even after recovery from depression.
 This increase in activity may actually cause the amygdala to enlarge.
- Basal ganglia:
 related group of structures deep in the brain.
 They are connected to and interact with structures that are closer to the
brain’s surface.
 They may help facilitate movement and may be involved in memorizing, thinking, and emotional
processing.
 Some studies have found shrinkage and other structural changes in the basal ganglia in people
with depression.
