Summary
Despite significant improvements in mood symptoms, many patients with MDD continue to experience persistent residual symptoms—particularly cognitive impairments—that hinder full functional recovery. In this PsychTalk podcast/webcast episode, Drs. Gregory Mattingly and Roger McIntyre discuss the often-overlooked role of cognitive dysfunction in MDD recovery, highlighting how these impairments correlate strongly with reduced workplace productivity, social withdrawal, and elevated relapse risk, ultimately impeding long-term outcomes. Their conversation provides listeners with an in-depth understanding of the presentation of cognitive impairment and residual symptoms in MDD, as well as strategies to foster resilience, enhance patient engagement, and promote functional recovery.
