I know when I left my bad marriage I had problems figuring out words I knew I should know to put a sentence together. I moved far away to start life over. My pdoc where I left from had said take OMEGA-3 EPA for depression & DHA for heart & memory.
Seriously, the combination of being OUT OF that toxic & stressful environment & the use of the OMEGA-3, worked. One of my first tests was that I joined the monthly reading book club at my local small town library. I read & comprehended the books & I participated in the discussions intelligently. I shocked myself cause living in stressful environments all my life I had NEVER been able to do that cause my mind couldn't focus that well all my life though I quietly could study & got my degree & had my career, just couldn't think or talk on the fly. Sometimes the decline we do notice can be a product of our environment
