Good question… I think depression is quite bad for the brain too, it can lead to a dementia etc.

Hey wallafish, you know in my case, its changing all over the day… Today, before seeing my mom, I was depressed something like 7 or 8. Now, I am depressed something like 3… I just feel my brain in my head, idk why its like this and if its understandable for you. I guess, my brain is just too ‘‘sleepy’’ sometimes and that’s why I have this feeling to feel it. sorry, its crazy, but its like this…

Thank you wallafish :blush: . But right now I feel just as bad person. I have my moments of strong jealousy still… I find hard the fact that I am just in the nothing since years. But maybe is hould realize that the fault is partly mine… some conscience, you know… :confused: But ill try to talk more about my psychotic symptoms, not this… Sometimes, I am just worried cause I am so lazy…ok, ill post in my thread now.

From what i’ve been told, when a person goes through a drug related psychosis, the symtoms go away after a certain period of sobriety from the drug(s) that caused it. Meds may be required for a period of time, but if it is just a drug-related psychosis, it’s not permanent.
I’ve read at one point going for psychosis for too long can cause brain damage. But it might be reversible with meds, don’t know.

I have been in psychosis for long period of time. I have not taken meds for 1 year since the start of the episode. After that i started taking meds and continuing. Is it possible for my brain to have gotten damaged. I dont remember good times, I dont see logic, I dont see anything making sense.
