After many depressions, substanse abuse, different meds, manic episodes, now I don't consider myself bright anymore. I have a huge brainfog and my memory is so-so although it is selective, sometimes I can remember trivial things and some not. Like Brat Pitt or Jack Nicholson. Why the *** do I remember those names now and at other times I don't remember them. This is not a joke by the way.

Dx: Mix anhedonia with Bipolar II. Add some insomnia and chronic stress. Season with paroxetine and a pinch of ADD. Stir well to induce a couple of hypo/manic episodes. After the excess of energy is gone, remove the Paroxetine and serve chilled with some C-PTSD and GAD. Ready is your MDD.

Mx: To clean up the mess use lamotrigine, r
isperidon, mirtazapine and sertraline. Let it soak in for a while but keep a close eye on it. Meanwhile enjoy your desert of oxazepam/temazepam prn.
