Antidepressants usually take time. And cognitive effects of depression can persist even after the depressionimproves. So do consult with the doctor and review antidepressant. In addition, Exercise increases endogenous opiates and natural neurtrophic factors like BDNF which promotes growth of neurons in the hippocampus which is responsible for storing memories.
Therefore there is no substitute for exercise and following a good sleep wake cycle along with concentration exercises, memory games etc
