You don't trust which comments?

Ours or those of your doctor?

DiverDown,
I just read another post where you talked about stoke after your birth and seizures. Maybe some of your memory issues are related to that.

I don't trust the comments in my NeuroPsych Assessment report. He did not understand over-stimulation nor many other issues we deal with daily.

Thanks Mark.
That's what I thought you meant but I wasn't sure so just thought I should ask.

DiverDown, I think that you have raised an interesting question.

I am in remission from clinical depression but do not have GAD, ADD or a brain injury. I have not noticed any differences in my memory before and after I was in remission.

I used to go to a therapy group for people with mood disorders. None of the other group members reported any memory issues.

Just my two cents worth of personal experience.

Although I've struggled with depression of varying degrees since I was 10 years old, I experienced major depression (clinical depression) in 1982 and was treated by a psychiatrist. He did not use medication. Instead, he started me on the vitamin regimen I still use today. The B-12 was a primary part. I got B-12 shops weekly. I was a different person within 8 weeks.

That depression was like nothing I had ever experienced before. My memory was so bad I could hardly finish a sentence. I lost weight and had a gaunt appearance. We were expecting our 2nd child. I started the vitamin regimen 8 weeks before my daughter was born. I was so lethargic, I expected to be useless to my wife but recovered from the depression in time to be a full support for her as our daughter was born by C-section.

Diverdown,

I encourage you to try the vitamin regimen in the sticky at the top. It can be a sound basis to help your brain endure stress.

Thanks mark.

Now, is this regiment in the sticky universal? Is it okay to to take it alongside sertraline and adderall?

Lara, I don't believe that is the case, because I haven't had troubles or micromanaged my memory since a hit I took over the summer. I have another post on that. I saw a very brief flash of light but no other symptoms. Doc says no concussion. What do you think?
