and depression

Depression is a common mental illness. According to the WHO, an estimated 3.8% of the global population experience it. Around 30% of people do not improve with medication or other types of treatment – this type is often referred to as treatment resistant depression or MDD (major depressive disorder).
During depression, the brain is not operating at full capacity in the areas responsible for emotion and emotional regulation. The emotional control center of the brain is less active or even in-active. Signals along the neural pathways to and from the brain that would normally regulate moods and emotions do not work properly when a person is clinically depressed.
