This study aimed to investigate the discrepancy between subjective memory complaints (SMC) and objective memory deficits in elderly patients with major depressive disorder (MDD) and mild cognitive impairment (MCI). The study sample consisted of 30 elderly patients with a diagnosis of MCI (according to Petersen- Mayo criteria) and 29 with a diagnosis of DSM-IV-TR MDD who were admitted to the outpatient geriatric psychiatry clinic. The control group (HC) consisted of 30 healthy elderly volunteers. Turkish versions of the Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE), Clock Drawing Test (CDT), ADAS-Cog, Subjective Memory Complaints Questionnaire (SMCQ) and Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS) were administered to all participants. The SMCQ scores of both MDD and MCI patients were higher than HC. However, there was no difference b...

However, its neurobiology has not been fully elucidated. There is no study in geriatric depression evaluating deep brain structures with transcranial sonography (TCS) which is a low‐cost, non‐invasive and practical tool. The present study aimed to evaluate the changes in the echogenicity of brainstem raphe (BR), substantia nigra (SN) and ventricular diameters by TCS in association with cognitive dysfunctions in patients with geriatric depression.
