Serf-abnormality in patients with depression / 中华行为医学与脑科学杂志

ABSTRACT

Self-abnormality in patients with depression has been confirmed in a lot of research results.Negative self-referential processing of depression is associated with higher follow-up depressive symptoms and predicts the recurrence of major depressive episodes.Both self-processing and self-recognition are impaired in depression.The overgeneral autobiographical memory is also a risk factor for onset and maintenance of depression.This review examined self-abnormalities of depression from self-face recognition,self-referential processing and autobiographical memory and summarized the problems of current researches and the future research trends,and may provide insight to explore the self-abnormalities of depression patients comprehensively.
