Hi IQDeclined

Welcome to NeuroTalk.

I have lived with Major Depressive Disorder for years. It is now well-managed thanks to a combination of medication and learning CBT and mindfulness/meditation methods. When it was poorly-managed I did have some cognitive problems but no longer.

I am not a clinician but my partner is (a clinical psychologist). Her comment was that your neurologist probably gave you a standard series of psychometric tests. She was not impressed with the diagnosis of pseudo-dementia.

She suggested that you get your neurologist to arrange for some physical examinations (maybe MRI or fMRI). It is possible that your cognitive issues have nothing to do with your clinical depression. The results of those examinations might help in this context.

All the best.
