future cognitive declinePsyPost

A recent study published in the International Journal of Geriatric Psychiatry reveals a significant link between depression and an increased risk of developing dementia.
People with depression at the start of the study were 74% more likely to develop dementia than those without depression.
Dementia is a general term for a decline in cognitive function severe enough to interfere with daily life.
The study did not distinguish between different types of dementia, which could have different risk profiles related to depression.
Future research should focus on confirming these findings in other populations.
Studies could also aim to identify the biological mechanisms linking depression and dementia.
For example, examining the role of inflammation, hormonal changes and genetic predispositions could provide insights into how these conditions are connected.
