---Its the other way around your stopping the damage and there as been studies it can be reversed with meds and possibly other treaments. ---
Also, as for the shrinking brain, could that be a cause of more depression for someone who is already depressed, but not for another depressed person?

---hence like i said what came first the chicken or egg --
studies compared people with known depression and people with no depression on mri --which show strong evidence of shrinkage in the dd group--and other studies suggest strongly the brain shrunk even more with the group of people who did not seek out any treatment for depression .
That leads back to the gene factor and stress cortisol levels ---
