Depression and brain blood flow

Posted by Prefect on September 7, 2021, at 18:03:17

Can depression cause reduced blood flow in the brain?
I had a SPECT scan done and the report says I have slight reduction in brain blood flow to the left frontal lobe.
The report and the neurologist who ordered it says the scan does not follow a pattern of classic neurological diseases but instead points to depression. (?!)
I've been trying to look up brain reduced blood flow in depression and I can't find much. All I get on reduced blood flow to frontal lobe is Alzheimers.
