Who is the study for?
This trial is for Veterans who have been treated for Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) within the past year and are still struggling with cognitive issues like memory and concentration. Participants must be willing to undergo assessments, attend weekly group sessions for 8 weeks, and complete follow-up evaluations.
What is being tested?
The study tests an 8-week program called Motivationally Enhanced Compensatory Cognitive Training (ME-CCT-MDD) against Goal-focused Supportive Contact (GSC). It aims to see if ME-CCT-MDD can improve thinking skills, mental health symptoms, daily functioning, and quality of life in Veterans with MDD-related cognitive deficits.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves cognitive training and supportive contact rather than medication or invasive procedures, traditional side effects are not a primary concern. However, participants may experience fatigue or emotional distress during psychological assessments or therapy sessions.
