Depression has often left me feeling alone, isolated, confused and lacking in the ability to concentrate. The more depressed I am, the more brain fog I have. If depression is left untreated for too long you can even end up delusional - I have. I have also experienced disassociation (depersonalization) "periods of detachment from self or surrounding which may be experienced as "unreal" (lacking in control of or "outside of" self) while retaining awareness that this is only a feeling and not a reality." One time while hospitalized I even had an out of body experience. This was when I had been feeling suicidally depressed for a long time and finally acted on it (again).
Get depression treated right away. And don't give up if you need to seek help from different doctors or try several different meds before you find the right treatment that works for you.
