 A cross-sectional study was performed with 22 patients with major depressive disorder who were employees on medical leave and undergoing an ambulatory rehabilitation program aimied at priming them to return to work. The Japanese version of CES-D questionnaire was used to assess the levels of depression in these subjects. The Stroop test, trail making test, and Miyake's paired verbal association learning test were administered to study the cognitive functioning of these subject. The subjects were classified into 2 groups according to their CES-D scores. Results of the cognitive function tests of the 2 groups did not differ significantly. These findings suggest that improvement in depression do not always relate to an improvement in cognitive function, which, in turn, is related to the performance at work. Moreover, the assessment of depressive symptoms is not necessarily useful in estimating the possibility of an employee returning to work.
