Study Shows Brain Blood Flow is Linked to Depression

脳の血流とうつ病に関係があることが研究で明らかに

A new study from the United States and other countries found that low blood flow in the brain may be a key sign of depression. Doctors looked at brain scans from over 15,000 people. They found that people with depression often have lower blood flow in parts of the brain.

This study used a special kind of brain scan to measure how much blood goes to different parts of the brain. The research showed that this blood flow is more important than other signs like brain size.

The doctors say this may help in the future. They can use brain scans to find out who has depression and how bad it is. This could help create better treatment plans for people based on their brain.
