Abstract
Introduction: Depression is one of the most common debilitating disorders. In the present study, we aimed to investigate the effects of depression on self-compassion, cognitive flexibility, and historical memory in comparison with normal people. Materials and Methods: In a descriptive study, 43 depressed patients and 43 healthy subjects were enrolled. The scale of depression, self-compassion, cognitive flexibility, and historical memory were examined in these subjects. The data were analyzed using SPSS software version 22. Results: This study showed that self-compassion, cognitive flexibility, and historical memory have a statistically significant reduction in depressed patients compared to healthy subjects (p 0.05). Conclusion: Our study demonstrates that depression can significantly impact historical memory, personality traits (like self-compassion), and cognitive capabilities (like cognitive flexibility). These findings have important implications for understanding and treating depression in real-world settings.
