  7. Failure to Achieve Remission: Consequences  brain changes  chronicity suicide attempts  higher relapse rates Failure to Achieve Remission • inter-episode • duration medical comorbidity mortality  # of chronic depressive episodes use of medical services and disability benefits impairment in work and relationships McIntyre.

  8. Physiological Consequences Failure to Achieve Remission: Brain Structural Changes Cognitive impairment and maintenance of depressed mood in MDD may be related to atrophy and altered function of these brain structures • Hippocampal atrophy • Frontal cortex atrophy • Glial cell loss prefrontal cortex • Amygdala hyperactivity Campbell & MacQueen.
