Introduction

Depression is a common mental disorder that affects millions of people worldwide, causing significant disability and impairment in daily functioning. Despite the availability of various treatment options, including pharmacological and psychotherapeutic interventions, a substantial portion of individuals with depression do not respond adequately to these treatments. This has led to a growing interest in the identification and development of biomarkers that can aid in the diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment of depression. Neuroimaging biomarkers, in particular, have shown promise in providing valuable insights into the neurobiological underpinnings of depression and could potentially revolutionize the way we approach the diagnosis and treatment of this complex disorder.

Thesis Overview on Neuroimaging Biomarkers for Depression

Depression is a complex mental disorder with a significant impact on individuals’ quality of life and functioning. Despite the availability of various treatment options, many individuals do not respond adequately to current interventions, highlighting the need for novel approaches to improve the diagnosis and treatment of depression. Neuroimaging biomarkers have emerged as a promising tool in elucidating the neurobiological underpinnings of depression and identifying objective markers that can aid in diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment selection.

This thesis aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the current state of research on neuroimaging biomarkers for depression, with a focus on functional and structural neuroimaging techniques such as fMRI, PET, and EEG. The literature review will explore the neurobiological basis of depression, current diagnostic methods, and the role of neuroimaging biomarkers in advancing our understanding of the disorder. The research methodology section will outline the study design, population, data collection methods, neuroimaging protocols, and data analysis techniques employed in the study.

The discussion of findings will present the study results, compare them with existing literature, and discuss the implications for clinical practice and future research directions. The conclusion and summary will provide a concise summary of the key findings, conclusions drawn from the study, clinical and research implications, limitations, recommendations for future research, and a final conclusion.

Overall, this thesis seeks to contribute to the growing body of knowledge on neuroimaging biomarkers for depression and provide valuable insights that can inform clinical practice, research, and policy development in the field of mental health.
