Cogmed Working Memory Training

Depression and anxiety have a way of creating a mass amount of stress that eventually begins to seep into other areas of your life that otherwise may not have been affected. One of the major areas of the brain that can be altered when dealing with mental health issues is of course cognitive activity, most specifically your memory and ability to remain focused on tasks for extended periods of time.
