| Research Abstract |
We investigated patients with depression using brain morphometry and functional MRI. Patients with depression at the beginning of the treatment showed significantly smaller gray matter volume in anterior cinglate, ventromedial temporal, ventromedial frontal, and caudate head than healthy controls. We made the task for fMRI to evaluate self-esteem and dysfunctional attitude. We evaluate healthy controls and patients with depression who treated with medication and/or cognitive behavioral therapy using fMRI. Our results indicated that regional brain activities of patients with depression changed in the course of the treatment, and the changes varied among treatments.
