Background and Objective: Estimation abilities
are a group of processes that involve cognitive functions such as planning,
attention, abstract reasoning, and memory. The
goal of this study was to assess cognitive estimation in patients with
schizophrenia, major depression disorder (MDD) and normal individuals. Materials and
Methods:
Three groups including patients with schizophrenia, major depression disorder
(MDD) and normal individuals (n=22 for each group) were selected using
available sampling methods and inclusion and diagnostic criteria and were assessed by
Cognitive Estimation Test (CET). Results: Multivariate
analysis of variance (MANOVA) showed that patients with schizophrenia disorder
were impaired in all cognitive estimation dimensions in comparison with
patients with major depression disorder (MDD) and normal individuals and its total
score. Also, major depression patients performed worse than normal individuals
in size, weight and quantity of cognitive estimation dimensions and its total
score. Conclusion: A better understanding of the cognitive
estimation in schizophrenia and depression could help identify the risk and
modifying factors that influence the onset, severity and course of these
diseases.
