摘要
Cognitive deficits occurring with major depression in the elderly are well recognized. However, cognitive differences in depressed patients with and without psychotic features have received little attention. Of 14 consecutively referred elderly patients with major depression, the eight patients with psychotic features had significantly more cognitive deficits on neuropsychological tests than the six patients with major depression without psychotic features. The differences in performance IQ were most remarkable, but the differences extended to verbal IQ subtests, word fluency and memory.
