Or very horrifying. Most of my cerebral cortex was hypofunctional as was indicated by the color blue on repeated PET scans. This compares with healthy individuals whose brains shows up globally yellow and orange except for the ventricles. It was a horrendous finding to see how globally my brain function is affected by depression. It was not so pleasant a revelation that the U.S. NIH considered me to be "very sick".
