Results show that various classes of antidepressants exert improving effects on cognitive function across several cognitive domains .
Specifically , studies suggest that SSRIs , the SSRE tianeptine , the SNRI duloxetine , vortioxetine and other antidepressants such as bupropion and moclobemide may exert certain improving effects on cognitive function in depression , such as in learning and memory and executive function .
The few non-pharmacological studies conducted employing cognitive orientated treatments and cognitive remediation therapy show promising results for the improvement of cognitive impairment in depression .
Cognitive dysfunction is of clinical significance and exerts longst and ing implication on patients ׳ function .
Pharmacological and non-pharmacological treatments of cognitive dysfunction are emerging .
This review evaluates pharmacological and non-pharmacological treatments of cognitive impairment primarily in the domains of memory , attention , processing speed and executive function in clinical depression .
Durability of cognitive remediation training in schizophrenia: performance on two memory tasks at 6-month and 12-month follow-up
Patients with schizophrenia have consistently been found to exhibit cognitive deficits , particularly in memory , which have been suggested to mediate functional outcomes . Several recent review s of cognitive retraining have concluded that these deficits respond to training , although the sustainability of cognitive improvement following completion of training has not been adequately evaluated . Most studies had small sample s and very short follow-up periods . As part of a larger study , we examined performance on two memory tasks in two groups of participants : those who received computerized cognitive remediation training in addition to work therapy ( n=45 ) , vs. those who only received work therapy ( n=49 ) .  Computerized cognitive remediation included hierarchical training on a computerized digit span task and a computerized words serial position task . Assessment s using the same computerized tasks were made at three time points : baseline , end of active intervention , and 6-month follow-up . Compared to the active control condition ( work therapy only ) , the group receiving computerized cognitive remediation in addition to work therapy showed significantly greater improvements on the trained digit span task following training . These improvements were maintained at the 6-month follow-up . There were no significant group differences on the word serial position task at any time point . Results indicate that computerized training can lead to sustained improvements on some , but not all , training tasks
