The correlation between dementia and symptoms of major depressive disorder has sparked inquiries into the underlying mechanisms. A recent study has discovered that the reduced hippocampal volume observed in late-life depression patients is not connected to amyloid pathology. This finding challenges the notion that their diminished hippocampal volume is a result of early-stage Alzheimer's disease.
The American Journal of Psychiatry strives to maintain a dynamic and pertinent field of psychiatry by disseminating cutting-edge research on diagnosing and treating mental illnesses.
