Yes, when I was really depressed, I had a lot of problem with concentration. I would be typing a sentence I and couldn't remember what the beginning of the sentence was about. I had short term memory problems. I had problems following conversations. At my worst, I was having problems with speech comprehension. The woman said "four dollars and thirteen cents," and I would be very confused. Also face recognition, and paying attention. I had to concentrate REALLY hard to cross streets. I was getting lost in my own neighborhood, spacing out in the grocery store...

with my gradual improvement in mood (Antidepressants) I have noticed a return in my cognitive powers. Also, when I treated insomnia (another depression symptom) and started eating again (I wasn't eating well for about 3 weeks (another depression symptom) I noticed boosts in thinking power.

Best of luck to you HEART. Depression can be really scary. At the point I sought treatment, I couldn't even comprehend what was going on around me. I was completely in my own inner world. I'm feeling a lot better, but it's taken several months. My doctor, pdoc, and T were right. Treatment improves cognitive symptoms.

yours,
