LOl @ middle aged .. Sorry I'm middle age

Memory and cognitive issues are a main complaint for people with any mental illness, it is just part of the beast..then medications being layered on .... Sure its going to cause problems and lots of them.

How to help yourself? Work on finding what helps your memory..

Mine? If I write something down I am less likely to forget stuff, just handwriting it once is a huge help for me, So I love lists. I am a huge reader,,its common for me to read 2-3 or more books a week. I also play memory driven games..

In past I was on many medications that were causing me problems, I never settled and I would not agree to take a medication if it made me stupid.

Ps Lithium is huge for causing brain fog.
