An Observational, Mixed-Design, Exploratory Study Evaluating Cognitive Function and Structural Deficits in Seasonal Affective Disorder
Summary:
This paper discusses a study that evaluates cognitive function and structural deficits in Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) patients.
Categories
- Seasonal affective disorder: The paper focuses on a study of Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) patients, examining changes to neural structure and cognition.
- Depression: The study uses SAD as a naturalistic model of depression, investigating changes to neural structure and cognition.
- Cognitive function and memory: The study evaluates cognitive function in SAD patients, finding impairments in set-shifting, psychomotor speed, and executive function during the summer months.
- Mood regulation: The paper discusses how structural deficits in SAD patients affect mood regulation and cognitive functions.
