Introduction

The major depression is associated with decreased cognitive functions in a range of areas, including attention, memory and executive functions. The cognitive symptoms of depression can have a profound effect on the ability of patients to keep out the tasks of daily living, and are significant factors that affect the ability to function both interpersonal and occupational level.

Aims

Vortioxetina have a multimodal action acting on various serotonin receptors in addition to inhibiting serotonin reuptake. Vortioxetina, is a new therapeutic tool seems to have shown efficacy in the treatment of cognitive symptoms of depression.

Methods

To evaluate this action we have evaluated the cognitive decline in patients with major depression before receiving treatment vortioxetina (whether state or not previously treated with other antidepressants) and at 2, 6 and 12 months after starting treatment with the drug. For that, we’ve used the Verbal Hearing Test King (RAVLT), which evaluates the auditory verbal short-term memory, the learning rate, the retention of information, and the differences between learning and recovery, and testing Digit substitution by symbols (DSST) that perform quick detection of brain dysfunctions by a conventional task.

Results

The results of this study are still under analysis.
