Abstract

Self-abnormality in patients with depression has been confirmed in a lot of research results. Negative self-referential processing of depression is associated with higher follow-up depressive symptoms and predicts the recurrence of major depressive episodes. Both self-processing and self-recognition are impaired in depression. The overgeneral autobiographical memory is also a risk factor for onset and maintenance of depression. This review examined self-abnormalities of depression from self-face recognition, self-referential processing and autobiographical memory and summarized the problems of current researches and the future research trends, and may provide insight to explore the self-abnormalities of depression patients comprehensively. Key words: Depression; Self-abnormality; Self-face recognition; Self-referential processing; Autobiographical memory
