Depression has been diagnosed in one out of five adults, according to research from the CDC.
“Depression presents in different ways in different people, but finding commonalities — like similar profiles of brain function — helps medical professionals effectively treat participants by individualizing care,” Williams added.
A select 96 also underwent functional magnetic resonance imaging for a series of cognitive tests to further understand mood disorder variation. “The researchers found that 27% of the participants had more prominent symptoms of cognitive slowing and insomnia, impaired cognitive function on behavioral tests, as well as reduced activity in certain frontal brain regions,” according to the research, which labeled the conditions as a “cognitive biotype.”
“This study is crucial because psychiatrists have few measurement tools for depression to help make treatment decisions,” said Hack. “It’s mostly making observations and self-report measures. Imaging while performing cognitive tasks is rather novel in depression treatment studies.”
