===Dementia and mild cognitive impairment===
A Cochrane review in 2022 found that adults with [[dementia]] and [[Mild cognitive impairment|mild cognitive impairment (MCI)]] who experience symptoms of depression may benefit from CBT, whereas other counselling or supportive interventions might not improve symptoms significantly.<ref name="Orgeta_2022">{{cite journal | vauthors = Orgeta V, Leung P, Del-Pino-Casado R, Qazi A, Orrell M, Spector AE, Methley AM | title = Psychological treatments for depression and anxiety in dementia and mild cognitive impairment | journal = The Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews | volume = 2022 | issue = 4 | pages = CD009125 | date = April 2022 | pmid = 35466396 | pmc = 9035877 | doi = 10.1002/14651858.CD009125.pub3 }}</ref> Across 5 different psychometric scales, where higher scores indicate severity of depression, adults receiving CBT reported somewhat lower mood scores than those receiving usual care for dementia and MCI overall.<ref name="Orgeta_2022" />  In this review, a sub-group analysis found [[clinically significant]] benefits only among those diagnosed with dementia, rather than MCI.<ref name="Orgeta_2022" /><ref>{{cite journal | vauthors = Andrade C | title = Mean Difference, Standardized Mean Difference (SMD), and Their Use in Meta-Analysis: As Simple as It Gets | journal = The Journal of Clinical Psychiatry | volume = 81 | issue = 5 | pages = 20f13681 | date = September 2020 | pmid = 32965803 | doi = 10.4088/JCP.20f13681 | s2cid = 221865130 | doi-access = free }}</ref>

The likelihood of remission from depression also appeared to be 84% higher following CBT, though the evidence for this was less certain. Anxiety, cognition and other neuropsychiatric symptoms were not significantly improved following CBT, however this review did find moderate evidence of improved quality of life and daily living activity scores in those with dementia and MCI.<ref name="Orgeta_2022" />
