Depressed people showed more mistakes in their performance than healthy people (p<0.001). however, there was not significant difference between their errors and classes. Compairing of two groups showed that schizophrenic and depressed people performed low level of executive performance in winconsin card variables (p<0.001). findings revealed that schizophrenic patients showed more cognitive errors in performance than depressed people, therefore, they showed significant difference in one variable which indicated that the depressed patients without psychotic problems were safer that the patients with psychotic illness.
