For many years, depressive disorder (DD) was considered a transient and natural disease of people’s mood. Its etiology had been attributed mainly to biochemical alterations of the monoamines and their receptors. Nevertheless, its prevalence and considerable impact on the family and social environment of those afflicted by it have placed the disease as a global public health problem. Neuroprogression is the term used to describe the changes in several psychiatric conditions evidenced and…

Current knowledge of the neuroprogressive processes that may occur in MDD is reviewed, including structural brain consequences and potential molecular mechanisms including the role of neurotransmitter systems, inflammatory, oxidative and nitrosative stress pathways, neurotrophins and regulation of neurogenesis, cortisol and the hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal axis modulation.

It is proposed that antidepressants influence neuroplasticity inducing improvements in the symptoms of this illness, and the effects of antidepressants on nervous, immune and endocrine systems are able to induce neuroadaptative changes in the brain.

Prospective studies examining the interaction between changes in brain function and structure in relation to stress and identified relevant genes and how these may be influenced by antidepressant drug treatment and the long-term course of depression would help clarify their role in the pathophysiology of this disorder.
Neuroprogression and Immune Activation in Major Depressive Disorder.

Changes in disease markers involved in the reorganization of the nervous system in MDD suggest an imbalance in the immune system with increased microglial activation and decreased astroglial activation, continued elevations of the MAO-A level, and, likely, the development of extracellular glutamate dysregulation.
