What Happens In The Brain During Depression

There are many factors that contribute to depression and the brain could be one, says Amy Exum, Psychotherapist with Care & Counseling at Baptist Health South Florida. One of these factors is a chemical imbalance, associated with neurotransmitters and receptors in the brain, but the specialist adds it is also necessary to observe the events in the patient's life. Graciela Jimenez, Psychotherapist with Care & Counseling at the same place, talks about the family factors that contribute to depression.
