Percent of Total Disability-Adjusted Life Years (DALYs)*
*DALYs represent total number of years lost to illness, disability, or premature death within a
given population. They are calculated by adding number of years of life lost to number of years
lived with disability for a certain disease or disorder.

Leonard B, Maes M. Neurosci Biobehav Rev. 2012;36:764-785.
Induction of indoleamine
2,3-dioxygenase (IDO) by IF
and some PICs is
associated with depleted
plasma tryptophan, which
may interfere with brain 5HT synthesis, and increased
production of anxiogenic
and depressogenic
tryptophan catabolites
(such as kynurinate, and
quinolinic acid)
All abovementioned factors
cause neuroprogression,
that is a combination of
neurodegeneration,
neuronal apoptosis, and
lowered neurogenesis and
neuroplasticity.

randomized to continue with medication or placebo; relapse was defined as HAM-D score of

What Does a Prospective Study Reveal About
Differences Between Nonremitters and Remitters?
3-year follow-up study (38 patients, 30 controls)
Gray matter density decline in nonremitted patients vs remitted patients
Statistically smaller areas in nonremitted patients were: anterior
cingulum, hippocampus, amygdala, DL-PFC, and DM-PFC
DL-PFC, dorsolateral prefrontal cortex
DM-PFC, dorsomedial prefrontal cortex

In Conclusion…
• Depression is truly a Mind-Body Disorder
• Evidence supporting this concept is strong
• Utilizing this Mind-Body approach to understanding
and treating Depression will lead to improved
outcomes for patients
