The study by Vos et al. (2025) highlights that cognitive biases, especially memory and interpretation biases, can precede the onset of anxiety and depression. These systematic distortions in perception and recall serve as early warning signs that can enable timely intervention. By analyzing longitudinal data, the research confirms that these biases are not merely results of existing mental health conditions, but potential predictors. This groundbreaking insight emphasizes the need for mental health professionals to focus on early detection and intervention strategies to reduce the high burden of anxiety and depression globally.
A recent study shows cognitive biases, particularly memory and interpretation biases, can predict the emergence of anxiety and depression, enabling early detection and intervention.
The research by Vos et al. (2025) highlights the importance of identifying cognitive biases as indicators that may precede anxiety and depression, offering potential pathways for prevention.
