Hi everyone, I hope you are finding yourself in the best place possible for the moment and send postive thoughts and energy to you all.
I was recently talking to my medical doc about the possibility of have been "brain damaged" by my long term psychosis episode or subsequent treatments throughout the years (ECT, meds)...basically i said i feel that i have become stupid. I know that i am losing abilities, i do not make connections and i cannot access my memory, I have been taking medication for nearly 15 years and he suggested that it could be a result of long term medication use...I am going for Neuro-Psych testing at the end of march and he said that we will do it again in a year to measure if any dementia is present...i am 41 and am kinda taken aback, nervous but oddly hopeful. My pdoc is excited about this testing, but all i know about it is it will take four hours lol.
Has anyone else experienced this? Has anyone had Neuro-psych testing done? I play brain games constantly for my memory, but are there any other suggestions to help regain what i feel like i am losing more rapidly now that even five years ago. thanks in adavance!
