Multiple studies have shown that individuals with MDD have decreased volume in the hippocampus and amygdala compared to healthy controls. This is thought to contribute to the emotional dysregulation and memory deficits commonly seen in MDD. While there may be some variability in findings related to other brain regions, decreased volume in the hippocampus and amygdala is consistently reported.
