Abstract

Late-life depression is often accompanied by cognitive impairment. In some cases, the syndromes of depression and cognitive impairment may be related to the same underlying disorder (eg, vascular dementia, hypothyroidism), whereas in other cases, they may be relatively independent and simply coexist. Cognitive deficits in late-life depression span multiple domains; however, deficits in executive functions may be particularly important as their presence predicts poor clinical outcomes. Cognitive impairment, when mild, does not appear to progress to dementia in most cases, but variability in the course of elders with depression and cognitive impairment suggests the need for careful follow-up, particularly in cases where executive dysfunction is suspected. The Expert Consensus Guideline recommends antidepressant drug therapy combined with a psychosocial intervention as the treatment of choice for geriatric depression. New treatments including computerized cognitive remediation and problem-solving therapy may be particularly effective in treating both affective and cognitive symptoms.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
