  1. (1) adjusted for CIS-R score at baseline, age (< or ≥ 18) depression severity (mild, moderate or severe), current symptom duration (< or ≥ 3 months) and history of depression (yes, no).
  2. *High scores reflect better quality of life.
  3. ** Higher scores reflect greater cognitive awareness.
