Hi. Do SSRIs effect executive functions and/or overall cognition, positively or negatively? I have not been able to find much during my online searches. Have any double-blind studies been done on this topic? Thanks so much!
i don't think SSRIs generally interfere with cognitive functioning. Anafranil, with anticholinergic effects, does sometimes do this. in fact, if they lessen intrusions due to OCD they may improve cognitive functioning.
