Abstract

Introduction: This study investigated the features of Mind Wandering in patients with Major Depressive Disorder and Bipolar Disorder in comparison with the healthy control group. Method: The number and duration of internally-and externally-oriented thoughts during MW in 90 healthy control, Major Depressive Disorder, and depressed Bipolar Disorder subjects were measured by a novel method of experience sampling experiment in the laboratory at the Royal Mental Health Centre of the University of Ottawa, Canada using the MATLAB software. Subjects also filled out BDI-II to evaluate current depressive symptoms. The methods used to analyze data included Chi-square, ANOVA, LSD Post Hoc Test, Pearson and Spearman correlation. Results: 1) an increased number of internally-oriented thought contents in MDD and BD; 2) the duration of time MDD and BD groups engage with the Internal Thoughts is almost twice the time the HC spend on it; 3) the relationship between the Direction of Thoughts during MW and depressive symptoms. Conclusion: Our results show depressed patients with MDD and BD spend a longer time on Internal Thoughts during MW which is related to the severity of their depressive symptoms, which carries clinical implications for both diagnosis and therapy.
