Major depressive disorder (MDD) is the leading cause of disability
globally in both developed and developing nations. The staggering
economic costs attributable to MDD are largely a consequence of
impairment in role function. Evidence indicates that disturbance in
the domain of cognitive function in individuals with MDD is the
principal determinant of health outcome. This is the first book to
comprehensively explore the domain of cognition in MDD. The
literature describing cognitive dysfunction is reviewed with
particular focus on clinical determinants, pathophysiology and
causative factors. The patient subpopulations most susceptible are
defined. A summary of contemporary assessment tools for research
and clinical purposes is provided. Multimodality treatments and
prevention strategies are described. This book is an invaluable
resource for psychiatrists, neuropsychologists and other members of
the mental health team, as well as for policy makers, vocation
rehabilitation experts, disability providers and other stakeholders
interested in improving health outcomes in MDD.
