I have cognitive impairment (trouble concentrating, working memory deficit, and forgetfulness/learning difficulty) and apathy (I feel empty (out of ideas), "tired" (trouble with energy) and I have no enthiusiasm or lust).

Vortioxetine (Trintellix) is well known to improve cognition, even in the absence of a mood disorder. Definitely something to investigate.
