“…This relevance can be primarily explained by the conceptual view of depression as a disturbance of “affective cognition”, a term that describes the interaction between cognitive functions and emotions, including the processing of emotionally significant information in contexts that require cognitive appraisal to produce an appropriate response [ 4 ]. When affective cognition is disturbed there is distortion in the perception, processing, and synthesis of affective information, hampering interactions of a person with their surroundings [ 5 ].…”

Introduction: Processing of emotional stimuli is altered in patients with depression. The present feasibility study investigated the features of emotional information recognition in people with depressive disorders and how these differ from individuals without depression to determine whether response times could potentially be used as a diagnostic marker to identify individuals at high risk of depression and as an indicator of antidepressant medication response. Methods: The study recruited 32 individuals, 16 with single or recurrent depressive episodes and 16 control subjects without depression. Patients with depression received 8 weeks of antidepressant therapy. The severity of depressive symptoms at baseline and their changes on prescribed therapy were assessed using the Montgomery-Å sberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS). The processing of emotional information was assessed using the computerized Penn Emotion Recognition Task (ER-40). Results: The two groups were well matched in terms of age and gender. There was no difference between the groups in their ability to correctly recognize happy or sad emotional facial expressions, but the average time patients with depression took to recognize a happy face was significantly longer than controls. In addition, they were more likely to misinterpret facial expressions as non-emotional. In patients with depression, the mean MADRS total score decreased from 26.3 ± 4.4 at baseline to 11.1 ± 8.9 at 8 weeks, a reduction of 57.8%. The proportion of responders with greater than 50% reduction in their baseline MADRS total score was 64.3%. Antidepressive treatment was associated with a reduction in the mean time required for recognition of a happy face (P \ 0.05). Conclusions: Patients with depression are slower to identify positive emotions but have a similar time to recognition of negative emotions as patients without depression. The greater time required for recognition of happiness distinguished the patients with depression from control subjects, and was also the only parameter that showed an improvement with antidepressant therapy, suggesting a specific relationship of this parameter with the depressive state.

“…This syndrome is accompanied by hyperactivity of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis, which contributes to a change in the activity of the prefrontal region of the brain, which leads to hypermentalization, as hyperexcitation in order to protect themselves from the malicious intentions of other people. This increases the risks of developing a large episode of depression [17,23].…”

Клинико-диагностический центр МЕДСИ на Красной Пресне 2 Первый Московский государственный медицинский университет им. И.М. Сеченова Аннотация. В статье показано, что изменения в способности распознавать эмоции по лицу являются индикатором психического благополучия в пожилом и старческом возрасте. Впервые в отечественной клинической психологии представлена интегративная модель возникновения депрессии П. Лаутена и П. Фонаги, которая в отличии от ранних теорий показывает, что депрессия является результатом взаимодействующих нарушений в системе ответа на стрессовые события, сбое в системе внутреннего вознаграждения, особенно со стороны привязанности/автономии, а вызвана проблемами понимания психических состояний других людей. Представлены формы когнитивного смещения при распознавании эмоций по лицу в позднем возрасте. На основе проведенного эмпирического исследования, в котором участвовали три группы респондентов 55-60, 61-74 и 75-90 лет с применением Пенсильванского теста распознавания эмоций (Penn Emotion Recognition Task-40) выделены возрастно-специфические особенности распознавания эмоций по лицу. Показано, что в пожилом и старческом возрастах при нормальном течении старения наблю-Electronic scientific
