I only had psychosis once too, and reading has been very hard for me, especially considering it's always been my biggest hobby. And forget understanding complex stuff - I used to be able to follow scientific papers, read complex materials, but I just can't.

I don't know if it's being mixed, the bipolar back-and-forth racing thoughts, medications, whatever making it extremely hard for me to read. New pdoc just tacked on a diagnosis of ADHD and gave me Adderall. I am unsure as to whether I have real ADHD or medication/bipolar-induced ADHD. The Adderall has helped me a ton with reading though, at least fiction. I'm not sure I can ever go back to reading biochemistry texts and having it make sense. As for now, I'm happy with the fiction and nonfiction that is not overly complex or confusing.
