I had depression 3 years back and was prescribed anti-depressants which my doctor stopped me from taking one and half years back. I am completely cured now but other problems in thinking do persist. I just don't want to talk on why I got depression on first place ! Though I have good mood now, iam struggling with thinking
Before depression took on me, i had a very good short term memory. I was able to remember formulae and when proving a theorem, for example, I could remember the assumptions. With this good memory, i could could link the earlier assumptions with dervied outcome and grasp the proof linking both. But now after being cured, I am still not able to remember smaller assumptions like earlier before depression.
Also, my reasoning skills too decreased. I am not able to reason and can't get the out of box ideas which I got earlier. This limits my thinking on intricacies of working of math models.
I also got my flow reduced. Earlier before depression, I can have good focus and when something interesting is happening, time flies. Now, I don't get such experiences.
My discipline and work ethic too took a toll. I am mostly on my mobile phone. Since my thinking skills reduced i just read economics, history and politics which don't require much thinking .
But some things are improving like iam doing some walking for past one year ( like 5 or 10 minutes) each day. I did lose weight and it gives me confidence.
I feel I will get my earlier style of thinking back with smaller steps as I did with walking. Please do suggest me in how I can change.
