The relation between cerebral morphological abnormalities in major depressive disorder and antidepressant treatment

Abstract

Abstract. The cerebral morphological abnormalities caused by Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) are markedly different from those of many other cerebral parts in non-patients. This brain disorder may be coordinated by antidepressant treatment. This paper investigates the links between antidepressant medication and morphological features in MDD using a literature review method. The paper finds that there is a positive response and feedback on these neurobiological alterations. The relationship between morphological features and treatment may make it easier to objectively observe the effects of antidepressants on MDD patients. The review emphasizes the importance of understanding the cerebral morphological changes associated with MDD, as well as how antidepressant therapy can potentially modulate these alterations. By exploring the relationship between pharmacological interventions and structural brain changes, the paper provides insights into the neurobiological mechanisms underlying the therapeutic effects of antidepressants. This knowledge can enhance the advancement of more focused and efficient therapy approaches for patients with Major Depressive Disorder.
