I've seen some researchers speculate that depression is nothing but a neurodegenerative disease. I believe that there is similar long-term atrophy with untreated depression.
Regarding drugs that promote neurogenesis, could it be that these drugs lead to greater BDNF in the brain simply because the brain is trying to protect itself against a perceived chemical assault from the drugs?
