  Author(s): Aurora Bennett*
  
  Clinical depression is a multifaceted mental health disorder characterized by persistent feelings of sadness, hopelessness, and a loss of interest or pleasure in activities once enjoyed. It is a significant public health concern worldwide, affecting individuals across all ages, genders, and socioeconomic backgrounds. While the exact etiology of clinical depression remains incompletely understood, research in neurobiology has provided valuable insights into the underlying brain chemistry and function implicated in this debilitating condition. At the core of the neurobiological understanding of clinical depression lies the intricate interplay of neurotransmitters, neural circuits, and brain regions. Neurotransmitters, the chemical messengers of the brain, play a crucial role in regulating mood, emotions, and behaviour. Among the neurotransmitters implicated in de.. Read More»
