I've also been very worried about my memory and cognition. I feel like I come across as stupid in person now. I wasn't like that several years ago, I was quick and on the spot with things, now my mind is blank and I can watch a whole movie and forget a minute later what I had been doing and what the movie was even about. It scares me sometimes because I'm afraid of developing dementia when I'm older. I have no family history of it but it worries me. The good thing is I don't think my actual intelligence has been affected, I get A's in college and write great papers. It just takes me a lot longer to process things, my mind feels like something imploded in it and screwed up connections. I guess it could be a combo of meds, and psychosis, and maybe the time I got severe Lithium toxicity that put me in the ICU for a week affected my brain, Who knows
