Participants will undergo neuropsychological and psychosocial assessments at baseline and after 3 months. The primary outcome is change in global cognitive performance measured by the Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE). Secondary outcomes include memory, executive functions, depression, neuropsychiatric symptoms, and quality of life measures.
