Psychology, the Brain, and Depression

The hippocampus is an important part of the mammalian brain and controls long-term memory, spatial recognition and emotion. It is almost in the center of the brain. This experimental study will help summarize whether stress causes hippocampal volume reduction. The hippocampus is a neuron that the Czechists believe that we are not actually destroyed, but its volume decreases as tension and stress limit the growth of nerve tissue (Czech, 2007). He also pointed out that distortion of neurons (mere brain cells) may lead to decreased hippocampus.

Depression is a disease of the brain. There are various reasons such as genetic factors, biological factors, environmental factors, psychological factors. Depression occurs at any age, but usually it begins in adolescence and young people. This is more common in women. Postpartum depression may also occur in women after babies are born. Some people are infected with the seasonal affective disorder in winter. Depression is a part of bipolar disorder

When I experienced severe depression last year, I read all possible articles on brain science and psychology. Not only that, I have read "A road less travel" by practicing psychotherapist M. Scott Peck and "The Brain - The Story of the Story". I also took a very interesting psychology course at Yale University. I may appreciate it later, but I can not confirm that it will be a good reading when I write. In fact, I can never release it. That is why my brain wants to avoid it. Just like anything else you need to do a lot of work before getting important results

By causing depression and suicide due to dysfunction in my brain, we ignore and ignore psychological and social forces which also play a strong role in the onset of depression. If we think that "poor people, if only his brain is not broken," we will not pay attention to potential neurology and ask questions about social power. Endure the atmosphere, the only escape. When we concentrate our attention on the individual's brain, we stop trying to build a compassionate and coexisting society. We will transfer their responsibilities and responsibilities to their uncontrollable power, so we will not participate in projects that change social conditions. (Such as poverty) are closely related to depression. We take the power to play a positive role and transfer responsibility to psychiatry and medicine.
