The neuropsychiatric and cognitive deficits have been shown to exist in various psychiatric disorders. An attempt has been made by authors to evaluate the evidence pertaining to electrophysiological, structural and neuropsychological domains in depression. Renewal of interest in testing patients with depression on a broad range of neuropsychological tasks has revealed distinct pattern of cognitive impairment in cases with depression. The review focuses on structural and neuropsychological evidence of deficit in cases of depression.
