Sorta....in my case I believe my permanent loss of mental function was due to a combo of years of psychiatric doping (including a few neuroleptics) and ECT. I was getting pretty impaired in the few months prior to my treatment though, just from the depression. It's now been 8 years for the record. My completely non-professional opinion is that some peoples' brains are just really susceptible to damage from chemical and electrical insults. I get so depressed thinking about how intelligent I used to be and how I used to downplay it and take it for granted. I just get so depressed, period.
