Participants completed app-based self-reported and performance-based cognitive function assessments alongside validated measures of depression, functional disability, and self-esteem every 3 months. Participants were followed-up for a maximum of 2-years. Multilevel hierarchically nested modelling was employed to explore between- and within-participant variation over time to identify whether persistent cognitive difficulties are related to levels of depression and functional impairment during follow-up.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec id=\"S0033291722003671_sec_a3\" sec-type=\"results\"><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>508 individuals (81.5%) provided data (mean age: 46.6,<jats:sc>s.d.<\/jats:sc>: 15.6; 76.2% female). Increasing persistence of self-reported cognitive difficulty was associated with higher levels of depression and functional impairment throughout the follow-up. In comparison to low persistence of objective cognitive difficulty (&lt;25% of timepoints), those with high persistence (&gt;75% of timepoints) reported significantly higher levels of depression (<jats:italic>B<\/jats:italic>= 5.17,<jats:sc>s.e.<\/jats:sc>= 2.21,<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>= 0.019) and functional impairment (<jats:italic>B<\/jats:italic>= 4.82,<jats:sc>s.e.<\/jats:sc>= 1.79,<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>= 0.002) over time. Examination of the individual cognitive modules shows that persistently impaired executive function is associated with worse functioning, and poor processing speed is particularly important for worsened depressive symptoms.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec id=\"S0033291722003671_sec_a4\" sec-type=\"conclusions\"><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>We replicated previous findings of greater persistence of cognitive difficulty with increasing severity of depression and further demonstrate that these cognitive difficulties are associated with pervasive functional disability.
