Brain Structure That Tracks Negative Events Backfires in Depression – Neuroscience News

June 1, 2016 by Robert Hammel, Registered Psychologist Leave a Comment

Interesting study.

Could explain why negative thinking in depression is so pervasive and constant.

So one possible explanation is that the habenula may help us to avoid dwelling on unpleasant thoughts or memories, and when this is disrupted you get the excessive negative focus that is common in depression.”
