Long-term disability in major depressive disorder: a 6-year follow-up study.

CONCLUSIONS: Symptomatic remission is a prerequisite for improvements in disability. However, disability persists despite symptom remission. Therefore, treatment of MDD should include an explicit focus on disability, especially on the more complex domains. To this end, treatments should promote behavioural activation and address subthreshold depressive symptoms in patients with remitted MDD. PMID: 31284881 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
