Introduction-The introduction of second-generation antipsychotics, with atypical mechanism of action. Literature says that there is a correlation between different antipsychotic drugs and cognitive functions in patients with psychosis. Since second-generation antipsychotic drugs are available, many studies have found that such drugs enhance neurocognitive performance as compared to first generation antipsychotics.Cognitivecomponents that are improved with second-generation antipsychotics include attention, verbal fluency and other global cognitive function components. Material and methods-100 patients with any psychotic symptoms were taken up in this study. To assess the cognitive status of the patients M.M.S.E Scale was applied to each patient at base line and three month interval up to one year. Results:At the end of 1 year treatment 40% of the study subjects receiving typical antipsychotics were having more cognitive deficit as compared to 12.5%, receiving atypical antipsychotics. Interpretation and conclusion: Cognitive deficit is also more commonly encountered in patients taking typical antipsychotics than atypical antipsychotics
