The physical brain changes linked to depression are said to be paucity of glial cells in the pre-frontal cortex and an atrophied hypothalamus (or is it hippocampus?). It's not clear to me whether the depression comes first, or the physical changes do, or whether they both proceed together. It's discussed in "Against Depression" by Peter Kramer. Not a self-help book thank goodness
