The best way to deal with it is to try to ignore it. The PCS brain tends to get obsessed with little stimulations. Trying to refocus on a distraction can be helpful. Sometimes, music or other background sounds can help.

I would not hold hope the stuff your neuro has you on will help with your depression. They are mostly memory aids. A broader B vitamin supplement might be worthwhile. L-Tryptophan and L-Theanine may help, too.
