Analysis reveals cognitive dysfunction affects clinical outcomes in depression, suggesting a need for targeted treatments.
Cognitive dysfunction in depression is associated with poorer clinical outcomes and interference with psychosocial functioning. However, most treatments for depression do not specifically target cognition. Neurocognitive deficits such as memory and concentration problems tend to persist after mood symptoms recover. Improving cognition in depression requires a better understanding of the brain systems implicated in depression. A comprehensive approach is warranted for refined ways to assess and treat cognitive dysfunction in depression.
