What happens in brain during depression?

Hippocampus in the brain releases cortisol. The influx of cortisol triggered by depression causes the amygdala to enlarge. This is a part of the brain associated with emotional responses. When it becomes larger and more active, it causes sleep disturbances, changes in activity levels, and changes in other hormones.
