DEPRESSION: A Physiological Perspective: Brain Function, EEG Pattern and Recovery presents depression through the lens of human physiology, integrating neurobiology, brain networks, neurotransmission, stress biology, sleep and circadian regulation, autonomic function, metabolism, inflammation, EEG and neuroplasticity. Rather than viewing depression solely as a psychiatric disorder, the book explores how alterations in brain–body regulation can influence mood, cognition, behaviour and recovery. It also discusses EEG patterns and physiological markers associated with depression and examines the processes involved in adaptation, treatment and recovery. The book incorporates clinical and research perspectives, including documented EEG findings from patients with depression. Written for MBBS and postgraduate students, nursing and paramedical learners, and readers interested in the physiological basis of depression, it bridges fundamental physiology with contemporary mental-health science.
