Reply to comment by Alittlebitmorbid in Can you scan a brain and diagnose a mental disorder? by friday_panda
Note that this author seems to think that "depression" is more primary than brain physiology. Depression is a basket term for symptoms, not an underlying physical illness diagnosis. On a brain scan you can find things like inflammation, which is not mentioned in teh DSM at all, but you can fix mental health problems by addressing inflammation.
