Motor performance and cognitive function were examined in depressed patients and controls. Increasing severity of depression was strongly associated with decrements in performance in both motor and memory tasks. Greatest depression-related impairment was found on those cognitive and motor tasks that required sustained effort. We discuss these results in terms of a generalized deficit in the central motivational state of depressed individuals.
对抑郁症患者和对照组进行了运动表现和认知功能检查。抑郁症严重程度的增加与运动和记忆任务表现的下降密切相关。在那些需要持续努力的认知和运动任务中，发现了与抑郁症相关的最大损害。我们从抑郁症患者中枢动机状态的普遍缺陷方面讨论了这些结果。
