Depression and mild cognitive impairment are common conditions in elderly adults. Both are factors that reduce the independence of older adults to perform the activities of daily living. These conditions are also risk factors for the development of dementias, especially Alzheimer's dementia. In addition, they increase the risk of mortality when they co-occur with other chronic diseases. In this review article we describe briefly aspects of the relationship between depression and cognitive impairment, the importance of conducting research focused on these conditions, the main hypotheses that arise during the study of their comorbidity, and lastly the methods employed for their evaluation and diagnosis.
