Evidence Based Psychotherapy

Objective: Neurocognitive impairment is considered a core feature of mood disorders. Research has shown that neurocognitive impairment often persists beyond mood symptom resolution and can have significant deleterious effects on interpersonal relationships, academic achievement, occupational functioning and independent living. As such, neurocognitive impairment has become an important target for intervention. In this systematic review, we aimed to examine the extant literature to ascertain whether current standard evidence-based psychotherapies can improve neurocognitive functioning in mood disorders. Method: Studies examining changes in neurocognitive functioning following evidence-based psychotherapy were identified using MEDLINE, PsycINFO and Web of Science databases. Given the heterogeneity of study procedures, treatment protocols and patient samples, a narrative rather than meta-analytic review technique was employed. Results: Nineteen studies (21 articles) met inclusion criteria. There was preliminary evidence of improved executive functioning following evidence-based psychotherapy for Major Depressive Disorder and Bipolar Disorder. There was also some signal of reduced negative biases in emotional information processing following psychotherapy in depression. Due to methodological variability across studies however, it was difficult to draw clear conclusions. Conclusion: Findings from the current review suggest that evidence-based psychotherapies may influence some aspects of neurocognitive functioning in mood disorders. This continues to be an ongoing area of importance and warrants further research.

Evidence Based Psychotherapy

Anorexia nervosa (AN) is an eating disorder that is characterized by restriction of energy intake leading to significantly low body weight, an intense fear of gaining weight or persistent behavior that interferes with weight gain, and disturbance in the way one’s body weight or shape is experienced. Because many patients with AN attempt to conceal their efforts to lose weight and minimize their symptoms, obtaining information from a caregiver is an important part of the assessment. A medical history and physical examination must be completed to assess medical stability, including review of vital signs, electrocardiogram, and laboratory studies. Medically unstable patients require a medical admission for refeeding and stabilization, including monitoring for refeeding syndrome. Pharmacotherapy should not be used as the primary treatment for patients with AN. The most evidence-based psychotherapy approach for children and adolescents is family-based treatment (Maudsley family therapy).
