Comparative analysis reveals deficits in self-esteem and cognitive flexibility during adolescence with depression, suggesting improved treatment outcomes through targeted interventions.
Depression during adolescence is associated with notable deficits in cognitive and psychosocial domains, particularly in self-esteem and cognitive flexibility. These findings emphasize that MDD in adolescents extends beyond affective disturbances and involves disruptions in self-perception, adaptability, and learning-based executive processes. Integrating interventions that simultaneously target emotional regulation, self-esteem, and cognitive flexibility may enhance treatment outcomes and promote long-term psychological well-being in depressed youth.
