AtWork: The Relation Between Cognitive Functioning, Common Mental Disorders and Work Functioning

Sponsor: Norwegian University of Science and Technology

Summary

Depression and anxiety affects levels of function across different levels like work, increasing levels of sick leave and as well as cognitive functioning. In the current study patients at risk of sick leave with depression and anxiety receive metacognitive therapy and work focus in an ordinary outpatient clinic. Impaired cognitive functioning may also be of importance in the return to work process and degree of sick leave. It is important to get a better understanding of how cognitive functioning is related to sick leave and if it predicts return to work, and if cognitive functioning is changed due to psychological treatment.
