Now if you add the additional neurons that are killed not just from the glucocorticoids, but also from a reduction of BDNF into my question above that you quoted, is it still hard to say in regards to depression in general? Is it a yes or a no (that it's still hard to say as to whether these brief moments of neuron loss from the glucocorticoids and reduction of BDNF will add up to a day's worth, a couple day's worth, or even a week's worth of shrinkage or that the medication will constantly make up and surpass all these moments of loss resulting in those feel-good areas of the brain gaining and not shrinking for the amounts of time I stated)?
Also, a yes or a no to this question I have here as well. Despite the fact that antidepressants stop the damage and gain back neurons, is it very rare for the brain to keep on shrinking from depression beyond the rate that the antidepressants are trying to gain? Is it also very rare for it to keep on shrinking from depression for the amounts of time I specified in the paragraph above even though the right antidepressants are being taken?
