Abstract
Psychiatric disorders have various underlying causes, which have piqued people's interest since ancient times. Examples include genetics, neurological problems, and environmental influences. For psychiatric disorders, there is no single care plan or treatment method. To develop a definitive cure, we need to better understand the diseases' underlying causes. As a result, we focused on abnormalities of the subgenual anterior cingulate cortex and amygdala in this review.
