Depressive disorder is the most prevalent affective disorder today. Depressive disorder has been linked to changes in the white matter. White matter changes in depressive disorder could be a result of impaired cerebral blood flow (CBF) and CBF self-regulation, impaired blood-brain barrier function, inflammatory factors, genes and environmental factors. Additionally, white matter changes in patients with depression are associated with clinical variables such as differential diagnosis, severity, treatment effect, and efficacy assessment. This review discusses the characteristics, possible mechanisms, clinical relevance, and potential treatment of white matter alterations caused by depressive disorders.
