> 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.

I completely agree. I have a few friends who have dabbled in drugs much more than myself, and yet they are not experiencing the effects that I am. Please don't misunderstand my story as a disguise for an underlying drug problem. I have never had a problem with drugs; I was only an experimental user. This is a classification that a lot of people cannot seem to understand. I have never been addicted to anything, except possibly cheeseburgers and French fries. I am very interested in what your impairment was prior to your treatments. I have been told numerous times that it is the depression that is causing my problems, yet I feel that is not possible. Depression cannot absolutely remove your entire personality, can it?
