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 .
Combined cognitive remediation and functional skills training for schizophrenia: effects on cognition, functional competence, and real-world behavior.
OBJECTIVE Cognitive remediation is an efficacious treatment for schizophrenia and , when used within broader psychosocial treatments , improves transfer to real-world behavior change . The authors examined whether cognitive remediation effectively generalizes to functional competence and real-world functioning as a st and alone treatment and when combined with a functional skills treatment . METHOD Out patients with schizophrenia ( N=107 ) were r and omly assigned to receive cognitive remediation , functional adaptation skills training , or combined treatment , with cognitive remediation preceding functional skills training .  Clinical symptoms , neurocognition , social competence , functional competence , and case-manager-rated real-world behavior were assessed at baseline , at end of treatment , and at a 12-week durability assessment . RESULTS Neurocognition improved , with durable effects , after cognitive remediation but not after functional skills training . Social competence improved both with functional skills training and with combined treatment but not with cognitive remediation alone . Improvements in functional competence were greater and more durable with combined treatment . Cognitive remediation alone did not produce significant improvements in real-world behavior , but when combined with functional skills training , statistically significant improvements from baseline to end of treatment and follow-up were observed in community or household activities and work skills . Number-needed-to-treat analyses suggest that as few as three cases are required for treatment to induce a meaningful improvement in functional skills . CONCLUSIONS In a short intervention , cognitive remediation produced robust improvements in neurocognition . Generalization to functional competence and real-world behavior was more likely when supplemental skills training and cognitive remediation were combined
