Hi.. I'm so sorry to hear what a difficult time you have been having. To me, it sounds as though depression may be causing what feels like a loss of intelligence. I would bet that your intelligence is just as it always was, but when you are really depressed, it can be impossible to concentrate, remember, problem-solve, etc. You are very young, and I do think it would be very important to get diagnosed by a very good psychiatrist- and to see a neurologist to rule out any neurological causes. Getting on medication quickly, if you are depressed, is important in giving you a better chance for recovery, and in protecting your brain from the physical changes which can occur with serious depression.

I realize that you don't have any insurance right now. Is there a possibility of getting help from your family, or perhaps of taking one college course and becoming eligible for university health services?
