Possibly a lot of how we are affected might be genetics?


I am very impressed by the IQs and overall cognitive functioning of some people I know who have been exposed to meds (sometimes heavily) for many years.

In some cases, I know the individual has been on a lot of meds for many years AND has had a number of severe episodes; yet, they continue to demonstrate high IQs and above average cognitive abilities.


The cause of any decline is likely multifactorial in nature.
