Objectives: This study was performed to compare the cognitive factors between recently recovered non-depressed group and currently depressive group.
Methods: To measure the degree of depressive mood, KDS(Korean Depression Scale) was used. We divided patients in two groups. One is recently recovered non-depressive group(n=28) and the other is currently depressive group(n=18) during antidepressant medication. To assess the cognitive state, we administered DAS(dysfunctional attitude scale), ASQ(attributional style questionnaire), and negative ATQ(automatic thought questionnaire).
Results: In ATQ score, there was a significant difference between two groups(t=3.453, p=.002). ATQ score strongly correlated with KDS score(r=.786, p〈0.01). But, there was no significant differences between two groups in mean scores of DAS and all positive and negative attributional style subscales, even though DAS score correlated with KDS score significantly(r=.383, p〈0.01). This means that ATQ score decreased according to remission of depression. But DAS and especially negative attributional style score didn’t changed even though improvement of depression with antidepressant medication.
Conclusion: We concluded that automatic thoughts were the mood state-dependent cognitive factor and dysfunctional attitude and attributional styles were cognitive factors that maybe reflect more permanent personal traits and underlying vulnerabilities of depression than automatic thoughts. We also concluded that the additive treatments more than antidepressant medication would be needed to change the dysfunctional attitudes and attribution styles, which could possibly act as the depressogenic factors in recently recovered non-depressive patients during maintenance antidepressant medication.
