Credits: 1 CE Hours

Major depressive disorder (MDD) is associated with persistent, impaired life functioning. Past literature reveals that motivational deficits in physical and cognitive effort expenditure have not been evaluated as contributors to functional impairment in MDD. The study examined physical and cognitive effort and the assessment of associations with symptoms, cognition, and life functioning in those with MDD. Overall, researchers found that higher anhedonia severity predicted lower motivation for physical effort but not for cognitive effort. Additionally, lower cognitive effort motivation was associated with poorer life functioning even after controlling for previously established predictors of symptoms and cognitive impairment. Researchers suggest motivational deficits in MDD present different barriers for recovery depending on the type of effort that is avoided.
