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 .
Executive performance of depressed suicide attempters: the role of suicidal ideation
ObjectiveS uicidal ideation has been related to cognitive rigidity whereas suicidal behaviour itself was associated with specific executive deficits . Yet it remains unclear if a distinct cognitive suicidal phenotype does exist . The aim of the present study was to further investigate the role of suicidal thinking for the neuropsychological performance in depressive suicide attempters . Method Depressive in patients after a recent suicide attempt , who either had present suicidal ideation ( n = 14 ) or not ( n = 15 ) and healthy controls ( n = 29 ) were recruited . The groups were assessed by means of executive tasks design ed to capture impulsive decision-making , and with verbal memory and attention tests . Self-rating measures of impulsivity and aggression  were further applied . Results Only patients with current suicidal ideation showed executive dysfunctions with impaired decision-making being the most salient . Verbal memory and attention were reasonably intact in all patients . All patients reported increased aggression . ConclusionS uicidal ideation is clearly associated with impaired cognitive performance . Our results suggest that executive deficits seen in depressive suicide attempters have a state-dependent component
