Has anyone been diagnosed with increased white matter?

I think certain medicines such as antidepressants can lead to an increase in brain matter but not white matter specifically...

Did you made an MRI or equivalent to see if you had an increase?

Practicing certain skills such as music or drawing can certainly lead to new neurons being formed in the brain...

I too have several tiny none specific white matters on both of the frontal lobs which many of the nerologystis believe that are nothing to worry about. They told me to forget about them and hon on with my life. But honestly I still worry beacuse I know that they should not be there at all.

However, I was going to ask if anyone can tell me what does or can bring MRI show? I mean can MRI show even small Vascular changes or damege?
