Visual Perception Changed By Depression


A new report, published in the journal Biological Psychiatry, suggests that people with depression are less likely to be able to correctly process black-and-white contrasts.

Researchers at the University of Freiburg found that people with depression had a lower retinal contrast than healthy people who did not have mental health issues - with retinal contrast becoming increasingly worse as people were more depressed.

Experts believe that vision tests could be used in future to part-diagnose depression.
