Meds have seriously affected my cognitive skills, my memory, and my intelligence.


Concentrating issues can be related to BD, but some of us with BD are excellent at multi-tasking. I didn't learn that until recently. I've always wondered how it is that I'm so good at multi-tasking and most others can't multi-task. I was always annoyed with those people, especially when I was working in a cafe. Now I'm realizing that I can get my mental energy to such an elevated level that I can quite easily do 3 things at once and do each one well. A benefit of BD, I guess.
