That causes all these symptoms like depression and specifically really debilitating obsessive compulsive disorder. And my mind is much slower than other people. Or caused by "neuro toxicity"? lack of a nutrient- etc... I wonder sometimes.

*By the way i wasn't sure how to phrase the title of this post-- i cant really describe it any other way sometimes-

If you think you have brain damage get an mri scan done on your brain.

If that shows nothing have a neuro psychology test done.

Sometimes our brain hard wires itself to do things because of a subconcious state.
This can affect our motor skills.

Try to get yourself tested to rule things in or our. Please talk to a professional about your concerns.

Sometimes we can be born with brain deficits. Sorry Infinitesadness not sure if you posted something prior to this that might link into this post.

I know not getting enough water can have similar effects...

I agree, neurology, MRI's and neuro-psychological evaluations, can determine if there is something physical causing your depression.

They'll ask about any head trauma, etc. Whiplash, concussion, migraine/headache history.

Yes, any type of brain injury/illness can create a physiological depression/anxiety state.

When I was 16 I started having severe panic attacks where I would black out for a few seconds and shake so the doctor scanned my brain & told me my brain waves are a little slower than normal but still in the so called normal range.

I am convinced it's related to my depression & anxiety issues I have today. I also pretty much can't do anything fast-- whether it's eating or showering etc etc.

Yeah, I feel similar to the last thing you wrote..

yes, see a neurologist - MRI, eval through discussion of your symptoms, bloodwork to rule out toxicity, electrolyte imbalance - s/he can set the path toward answers &/or intervention. Water intake watch is a great suggestion.

Good luck, sending support wishes to you.
