In thinking over what happened, I had undiagnosed learning disabilities that I never got any help for until I was an adult. So of course, when you're struggling with tasks that most average people would not struggle with, you're going to feel stupid if you don't know what is going on. That definitely leads to depression when you feel stupid and don't know why.
I am convinced that if someone had explained to me what was going on and showed me how to compensate for my issues, I would have avoided the psych med treadmill.
Sadly, these meds greatly worsened my LD issues over time and is one of the major reasons I decided to go off of them.
