Abstract

This collection of research explores the intricate links between mood and cognitive functions. Studies indicate that mood disorders like depression and anxiety are associated with deficits in executive functions, attention, and memory. Factors such as chronic stress, sleep deprivation, and social isolation negatively affect both mood and cognition. Conversely, positive social interactions, mindfulness practices, exercise, and emotional intelligence are shown to enhance mood and cognitive performance, underscoring the bidirectional nature of this relationship
