• Central to the symptomatology of affective disorders are disturbances in the regulation of
specific emotions, but also cognitions, leading to disturbed behavior, usually precipitated by
stressful life-events
• Current neuroanatomical models for the pathophysiology of affective disorders emphasize
the role of disturbances in brain circuits involved in emotion and stress regulation
, → From a neurobiological perspective, all treatments are thought to eventually lead to
changes in these brain circuits

, - Is in top 10 of causes of death
• Causes:
• Neurobiology of depression (imaging studies):
- Reduced volume of PFC, basal ganglia and hippocampus
▪ Serotonergic system dysfunctions

- Hyperreactivity and over time a reduced activity (exhaustion):
▪ Reduced BDNF
▪ Dysfunctions immune system
