> Just wondering something. I keep feeling like I'm getting dumber my the minute. I read posts here and I am completely confused and lost as to their content and vocabulary. I just don't seem to "get it" Is this a symptom of depression--Steadily Decreasing I.Q?
(uh-oh here I go) I feel just like you, Tina1. I didn't know there were so many terms and medications and treatments for depression! I've two windows open right now, one dedicated to a dictionary. But I did (and still do) often feel stupid before medication, but I had super concentration before. I lost the concentration ability and now often feel like an airhead (My doctor said maybe that's the way I always was but just didn't know it). I lost short term memory ability after getting hit by lightning, so I can't say what an anti-depressant might have done there.
