Part of the Oxford Psychiatry Library (OPL) series, Cognition in Major Depressive Disorder provides a succinct summary of cognitive deficits reported in patients with major depressive disorder (MDD) with a particular focus on aspects of measurement, underlying disease pathophysiology, implications for treatment and prevention. This book also provides readers an opportunity for clinical-based assessment of cognition and recommendations for how cognitive measurement and treatment is positioned in the management of individuals with mood disorders.

"This concise book succinctly summarizes a very important aspect of major depression: cognitive dysfunction. Any clinician or researcher involved in treating or studying depression needs to be aware of this important aspect of this all too common illness." - Doody's Notes
