Neuropsychology of Depression 1st edition edited by Shawn M. McClintock and Jimmy Choi examines the neurocognitive features of depression and their implications for assessment, treatment, clinical management, and research. The book connects contemporary knowledge about major depressive disorder with neuropsychological functioning, showing how depression can affect cognition across different domains and across adulthood.

The 1st edition covers the diagnosis and symptomatology of depression, neuroanatomy and neural networks, executive function, learning and memory, working memory, processing speed, and other cognitive functions affected by depressive illness. It also examines neuropsychological assessment, cultural and diversity considerations, motivational interviewing, treatment engagement, and methods for evaluating cognitive difficulties in adults with depression.

Treatment focused chapters examine the neurocognitive effects of psychotropic medications, evidence based psychotherapies, exercise and nutrition, and established and emerging neuromodulation approaches. The book is particularly relevant to professionals and trainees who need to understand how cognitive impairment influences clinical presentation, treatment participation, everyday functioning, and recovery in people with depression.

Clinical neuropsychology trainees, psychologists, psychiatrists, behavioral health clinicians, and researchers can use this edition to examine cognitive profiles in depression, select assessment approaches, interpret neuropsychological findings, and understand how different treatments may influence cognition. The 2022 1st edition is available as a searchable PDF with instant access after purchase for clinical study, research, graduate education, and professional reference.
