In depression (primary) or secondary cause( inflammation, medicine drug withdrawal, migraines, headaches), low nutrition etc, is there any death of brain cells? As one online resource was saying that inflammation causes depression and leads to loss of brain cells. Is there any loss of brain cells in stress, anxiety, depression? Yes or no? Reversible or irreversible? Rtms and psych meds cause any harm? Loss of sleep due to neurotransmitters imbalances for any reasons, causes loss of brain cells(any)?
Please guide correctly. In physiological stress and mental stress, breathing becomes shallow and rapid. Does this cause any neuronal loss or damage due to less oxygen or brain maintains oxygen? Please let me know. Stopping of psych meds causes serotonin to drop and causes headaches. Does this reduce blood supply to the brain causing any memory issues or no?
My mother is on ventilator due to right sided ischemic stroke post her mitral valve replacement surgery in Narayana hospital Bangalore. She has been on ventilator since 27/05/2026. She can move her right leg and right hand fairly well. But her left leg has little movements and left hand is immobile. She opens her eyes on calling, takes her tongue out on commanding. She responds to commands. Her ct mri earlier showed brain swelling but now it has reduced due to medicines. But still she can't pas her extubation trial. And now doctors planned for tracheostomy. I m confused and scared how long it will take for her to come out of ventilator support. What are the recovery and survival chances?

My mother 58yrs had compression in C3 to c7 levels in MRI SPINE. But clinical examination reflexes and few symptoms are absent. But heavy weekness, dizziness, walking imbalance, gait walk, falling sensation walking. But no pains , no numbness. Whether it is Cervical Mylopathy or not. Whether clinical examination reflexes and pain mandatory to finalize mylopathy once it's compression clearly shown in MRI Spine. Please help me out with exact guidance. Thankyou.
