Seems like a sound observation.

I have to admit that the reason I went to a psychologist initially was to deal with difficulties with motivation and energy, which I put down to depression.
But the inability to concentrate on what someone was saying to me, to filter out a single conversation from a group of people chatting in a room, to read and comprehend simple content, etc. all took a dive when I was on stronger doses of neuroleptics.
Now that I am off almost all the drowsy making drugs, my mind is a lot clearer, and I am getting a lot more done. I am not feeling snared in helplessness anymore. The consequence is I can now feel - both beauty and pain more acutely, and I need to manage my responses to situations more actively than when I was on drugs.
