Neurobiology of Cognitive Outcomes of Depression in the Elderly

Funded by: National Institutes of Health
Principal Investigators: David C. Steffens, MD, MHS
K. Ranga R. Krishnan, MD
Co-Investigators: James R. MacFall, PhD
James M. Provenzale, MD

This study involves 445 subjects, 60 years old and over, who have been followed for up to ten years. Cognitive functioning is a primary outcome. It is expected that the results from this study may clarify the relationship between depression and dementia in the elderly. Ultimately, it may aid in the clinical management of geriatric depression, shedding light on the prognosis for cognitive outcomes of depression in the elderly, as well as for long-term recovery and remission of depression symptoms.
