Journal Article
The pattern glare and visual memory are disrupted in patients with major depressive disorder
2022
Overview
Background
Visual memory impairment is one of the most commonly complained symptoms in patients with major depressive disorder (MDD). Pattern glare is also a distorted visual phenomenon that puzzles patients with MDD. Nevertheless, how these two phenomena interact in MDD remains unknown. This study investigated the association between pattern glare and visual memory in MDD patients.
Methods
Sixty-two patients with MDD and forty-nine age-, sex- and education level-matched healthy controls (HCs) were included in this study. The Pattern Recognition Memory (PRM) test and the Brief Visual Memory Test-Revised (BVMT-R) were applied to measure visual memory. The pattern glare test including three patterns with different spatial frequencies (SFs) was used to explore pattern glare levels.
Results
Patients with MDD scored lower on the PRM-PCi, BVMT-R1, BVMT-R2, BVMT-R3, and BVMT-Rt and higher on the PRM-MCLd than HCs (all
p
< 0.05). Pattern glare scores for MDD patients were higher with mid-SF (
p
< 0.001), high-SF (
p
= 0.006) and mid-high SF differences (
p
= 0.01) than for HCs. A positive correlation between mid-SF and PRM-MCLd scores in all participants was observed (
p
= 0.01,
r
= 0.246). A negative correlation between mid-high difference scores and BVMT-R2 scores (
p
= 0.032,
r
= -0.317) was observed in HCs, but no significant correlation was observed in MDD patients.
Conclusions
The present study showed that visual memory and pattern glare are disrupted in MDD. Visual memory may be associated with pattern glare and needs to be studied in future work.
