Therefore, we argue that remediation of cognitive impairment and alleviation of depressive symptoms each play an important role in improving outcome for patients with depression. In conclusion, this systematic review and meta-analysis demonstrates that cognitive impairment represents a core feature of depression that cannot be considered an epiphenomenon that is entirely secondary to symptoms of low mood and that may be a valuable target for future interventions.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1017\/s0033291713002535","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2013,10,29]],"date-time":"2013-10-29T10:28:41Z","timestamp":1383042521000},"page":"2029-2040","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1971,"title":["Cognitive impairment in depression: a systematic review and meta-analysis"],"prefix":"10.1017","volume":"44","author":[{"given":"P.
