"People with depression or even healthy people with a depressed mood can be affected by depressive thoughts," explained researcher Bart Rypma from The University of Texas at Dallas in the US. "We have known that negative thoughts tend to last longer for those with depression. However, this study is unique in showing that these thoughts, triggered from stimuli in the environment, can persist to the point that they hinder a depressed person's ability to keep their train of thought," Rypma noted.
