Depression is a highly prevalent and debilitating mental disorder, ranked one of the leading causes of disability worldwide. Several studies have identified neuropsychological deficits in populations of depressed patients affecting domains including attention, memory and executive functioning. These deficits often persist even in patients whose depressive symptoms have remitted. Cognitive impairment in depression represent a core feature of depression, and a valuable target for intervention. Identification of methods that would lead to amelioration would be of great clinical interest, and cognitive rehabilitation (CR) could be a potential way of achieving this. To date few studies on cognitive rehabilitation in depression has been conducted, but the preliminary results are promising. Still the demonstration of long-term effects and evidence relating to improved daily life executive functioning (i.e., generalization) is lacking. In the present study different group-based cognitive rehabilitation interventions will be compared. The aim of the study is to investigate if a group-based "brain training" intervention can improve executive function in patients with active and remitted depression. Efficacy will be assessed immediately after intervention, but also six months after the intervention.
