Answer

Yes and no. PET scans can detect the deterioration of brain cells such as in Alzheimer's Disease, etc. PET scans can also show that the 2 chemicals in the brain are not balanced and therefore can cause a person to become depressed (many different forms of depression) but it is up to a psychiatrist to determine what type of depression the person has.
