In reply to Depression and IQ loss, posted by tdaneen on August 3, 2000, at 14:24:43
I have wondered about this myself.
During the worst of my hypothyroid/depression, my brain fog was thick and really made me cognitively impaired.
I wonder if, as I feel better, and the fog lifts, are there any permanent damages to my intelligence? I'll never know, becasue I have never been tested, so have no baseline to compare with (other than a pre-first grade screening done by the public school when I was 5, in which I remember being asked to draw a person. Being that it was the early sixties, to me, person non-specified was, of course, male, despite my being female!! Don't remember the other elements of the screening, but it wasn't an IQ test anyway)
