Cognitive symptoms of depression refer to the changes in an individual's mental processes such as their thoughts and perceptions. These symptoms include negative thoughts, difficulty concentrating, and feelings of worthlessness or hopelessness. This is in contrast to somatic symptoms which refer to physical symptoms such as fatigue or digestive issues and motivational symptoms which refer to a lack of energy or interest in activities. Negative mood symptoms refer to feelings of sadness or guilt, but do not necessarily encompass the cognitive aspect of depression.
