Thank you for your concern.

But now I wish to talk about this thought some more. How much of an effect does good medication have against the shrinking brain (am I losing more of my brain than gaining through the meds, or is it the other way around)?

Also, as for the shrinking brain, could that be a cause of more depression for someone who is already depressed, but not for another depressed person?
