Abstract

This paper focuses on the relationship between microglia and depression. Depression is affected by multiple structures, cells, and hormones, including the hippocampus, amygdala, hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis, gut microbiota, stem cells, and glucocorticoids. This paper explores the relationship between microglia and structures, how these structural changes lead to increased concentrations of microglia leading to depression, and current treatment options for depression. Treatment options include drug therapy, electroacupuncture, and stem cell therapy. All of these treatments significantly impact the cure of depression and, at the same time, affect the overactivated microglia cells. It is concluded that the production of depression is closely related to microglial cells.
