Remember having friends who thought i was insane when i was depressed cuz i wouldn’t remember something i had just said or did…
Oh my goodness! I have been depressed off and on my whole life! I really don't need my brain cells to deplete anymore than they may have already!
Like dealing with depression itself isn't enough, let's throw some memory issues into the mix. But knowledge is power and now that we know about the problems we can work to deal with them. Thank you Dr Marks 👍
I've felt increasingly "dumb" over the last decade, too much to be explained by normal ageing. I hate it when people just tell me "no one remembers x or y" and I call bs. As someone that has always appreciated intelligence, because it's what allows me to understand complex concepts, because I love science, this is like adding insult to injury. As if major depressive disorder wasn't enough in itself. Cognition issues is like being eternally hungry but being unable to hold food down.
I can’t work anymore because of my bad memory and judgment- last time I tried it was all very humiliating…
Depression made a crappie of me. I drove past where I'm going and forgot it again on my way back. Angry at everyone and just being a big fool. I'm glad it's gone.
Before I got medicated it was starting to scare me because I thought I was losing myself. Started to forget things more, like where I placed things, what I might of said or done. It impaired me so much I'd forget to do basic things. Paired with adhd, it got to the point I literally could only sit there staring at a wall for hours but it seemed like 30 mins.
No wonder my cognitive thinking process and my overall functioning has been so bad 🙁
THANK YOU! This video confirms what I suspected. You are the first person, place I've heard this correlation. Thank you from the bottom to the top of my ❤.
I'm curious how childhood-onset depression affects brain development. I was first diagnosed w MDD at 13 but my symptoms started at ~8-10. I'm 25 now and i definitely feel "slow" around people my age, like the 90 year old almost deaf relative trying to participate in a conversation at thanksgiving.
Being depressed (diagnosed and with psychiatric support) I feel I am getting more "stupid". I forget things and have reduced ability to solve problems.
38 years later it was recognized I have fought with ptsd from my military service. The accompanying depression was ugly. I have been in treatment for these for the past 2.5 years and I have great improvement.
DOCTOR! I've tries to read anything I can on effects of depression, as I've been severely depressed for a long time. I have never heard this, but it's almost a relief. My memory is scary bad, I have trouble remembering yesterday's details sometimes. This gives me hope.
I was hospitalized for depression, and i was told it was "kind of like dementia." After a week or so on the drugs they gave me, I hadn't realized how bad I'd gotten until I was astonished at all the COLORS in the world!! Depression had literally dulled (depressed) my vision. Things are so much more vivid now. It's amazing!
Wow!!! I've struggled with depression most of my life and I never heard of this until today.
Is the shrinkage of cells permanent?
can you divulge more in this topic? i was a true gifted student : A+ in all AP classes type of gifted.... now its a miracle to get a passing grade....
Its true- aging with bp2 definitely causes "dumb down". Ive learned to just keep reading books for mental gymnastics, listen more & try to take my time when talking. With therapy, vitamins, minerals, herbs, intentional diet & sleep habits it softens the blow of living with this everyday. Losing my hat around the house beats losing my 🧠 in public lol
What type of a doctor should we address this issue with? I am struggling in my career because my memory loss is increasing. I’m unable to retain technical details regardless if I repeatedly study the same content 😢
Makes perfect sense. When I have bouts of severe depression, I often wonder if I’m becoming senile. (I’m 73.)
