Depression is often accompanied by cognitive disturbances, and by focusing on these deficits practitioners can obtain important information about the status of the disease and the prognosis of the patient. From this perspective, patients may also gain useful insight into their own condition. Medical and psychological treatment interventions can be applied on different levels particularly in relation to the cognitive symptoms of depression.
