Core Tip

Core Tip: Depression with residual symptoms can progress to relapse, and patients often experience varying degrees of social function impairment. We analyzed the social function scores of patients with residual depression symptoms and their influencing factors. We proposed relevant theories of social function impairment in patients with residual symptoms of depression by observing the status quo of the social function score and mining the influencing factors. These theories have made significant contributions to the relevant research on residual social function impairment in depression.
