Summary

Mood disorders are associated with dysfunction in a broad range of neurocognitive domains and processes. Deficits have been reported to occur in symptomatic states (depression, [hypo]mania) as well as in remission, negatively impacting psychological well-being and impairing social and occupational functioning. Multiple studies have investigated the potential of pharmacological and nonpharmacological (psychological, behavioural and neurostimulatory) interventions for the amelioration or prevention of neurocognitive impairments. In this chapter, we present an overview of these approaches. We focus particularly on their underlying mechanisms of action and discuss the relative advantages of each approach.
