n recent years, the barometer for treatment success in chronic mental disorders has expanded from symptom reduction to include recovery of functioning in everyday contexts, such as work, independent living, and community activities. Accordingly, treatment strategies have evolved to target the factors associated with functioning, which are often not the diagnostic symptoms that are a focus of traditional pharmacological and psychological treatments. Impaired neurocognitive functioning is increasingly recognized as a persistent and functionally relevant problem in chronic mental disorders. Treatment of cognition in schizophrenia spectrum conditions is well established, but only recently have these cognitive enhancing techniques been examined in mood disorders. In our paper, we present an argument for the importance of considering cognitive-enhancing treatments for mood disorders by reviewing the prevalence and functional meaningfulness of deficits and preliminary evidence of efficacy of these treatments
