Relationship between childhood maltreatment and cognitive function in medication-free patients with major depressive disorder

The effects of childhood maltreatment on cortical thickness and gray matter volume: a coordinate-based meta-analysis

“…Childhood maltreatment, which mainly includes physical, sexual and emotional abuse and neglect, is common worldwide with pediatric prevalence rates of 13-36% (Lim, Howells, Radua, & Rubia, 2020). These adverse early-life experiences involved bio-psycho-social mediators and moderators (Sideli et al, 2020), and have been suggested to be closely related with cognitive decline, attention impairment, emotional dysregulation, and reward anticipation disorder (Hart et al, 2018;Lim et al, 2016), and may even increase the risks of suffering from mental illness, such as posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) (Daniels, Lamke, Gaebler, Walter, and Scheel, 2013), major depressive disorder (MDD) (Goltermann et al 2022;Guo et al 2022;Haidl et al 2021), borderline personality disorder (Herzog, Kube, & Fassbinder, 2022), schizophrenia (Cancel, Dallel, Zine, El-Hage, & Fakra, 2019;D'Andrea et al, 2022;Sideli et al, 2020), substance abuse (Hughes et al, 2017), eating disorders (Cascino et al, 2022;Luo et al, 2020), as well as functional somatic and visceral pain syndromes (Chandan et al, 2020). Neurobiology changes of the brain might underlie the occurrence of the above symptoms.…”
