A new study led by Stanford Medicine scientists found that certain changes in neural activity predicted which patients would benefit from a type of cognitive behavioral therapy.
Problem-solving therapy is designed to improve cognitive skills used in planning, troubleshooting and tuning out irrelevant information.
The researchers think this may be due to their brains working smarter through the therapy.
The depression symptom most relevant to cognitive control — “feeling everything is an effort’ — benefited from the more efficient cognitive processing gained from the therapy.
Some participants reported that problem-solving therapy helped them think more clearly, allowing them to return to work, resume hobbies.
Brain scans showed changes in cognitive control circuit activity in the therapy group.
