Willow, I have a cognitive impairment. I underwent a full evaluation by a cognitive neurologist to determine it. The doctors said the impairment could be due to my illness or a side effect of meds. There is no way to tell for sure. One thing I do know is that if I go off my meds my impairment seems to worsen.That makes me think its the schizo part of me. I have problems with basic problem solving, face regonition, picking up on patterns,recall of things like numbers and objects...word association...etc......D.
