I haven't quite heard of that, I know apparently long term depression can cause some damage to the brain...but I don't know that it actually decreases the brain matter to that kind of extent. I imagine damage it can do can certainly make the depression worse, or maybe prevent it from being cured not entirely sure though.

But yeah it kinda bothers me to since as far as I know I've had depression for at least 16 years if not even longer and I have other issues so it is a bit concerning...that long term depression actually damages the brain which in my opinion makes it a bit more than a chemical imbalance after a while.
