Abstract

Depression has a high prevalence throughout the world. The number of people who suffer from depression is estimated to be more than 264 million, according to some statistics (Rana & Babar, 2020). There are cognitive deficits such as information processing, sustaining attention, memory, and problem-solving associated with depression, as well as changes in the brain. A cognitive remediation strategy makes use of repetitive exercises and positive reinforcement to improve cognitive functioning. There is a growing number of computerized and noncomputerized cognitive remediation programs available for individual and group treatment. The effectiveness of CRTis proven to be especially high if it is used with vocational rehabilitation or other interventions.
