Depression is more than a “mental health” problem and we can now measure its risk
These feels drawn by the one, the only, and the oatmeal, or is it just one of those?
A network of interacting brain regions known as the default mode network (DMN) was found to have stronger connections in adults and children with a high risk of depression compared to those with a low risk. These findings suggest that increased DMN connectivity is a potential precursor, or biomarker, indicating a risk of developing major depressive disorder (MDD).
