I had a major depressive attack 15 years back, why I am calling it an attack is it is very sudden and very intense, happened when I woke up one fine morning with complete numbness of brain, severe weakness and loss of balance in walking poor short term memory as the brain got completely numbed. Loss of ability to think clearly, comprehending,grasping and memory severely impaired. Then consulted a psychiatrist who put me on flunil 20 mg and gradually increased to 40 mg along with Evion 400. Gradually there is mild improvement in numbness, but my cognitive issues like short term memory, clarity in thinking, and fast grasping there is no significant improvement. Later I switched to Paroxetine 50 mg, Lamictal 300 mg and Buspin 10 mg (anxiety) and helped me to resolve my fatigue n body pain issues .My major problem is cognitive issues mentioned above not allowing me to function efficiently as my job is mostly cerebral. Kindly suggest any add on medication that can address my cognitive issues.

Dear user. I can understand. Depressive disorder or depression is a neuro chemical disorder. Suicidal tendency is one main symptom of depression. You must be able to distinguish between mental disease and mental disorder. Your problem is a mental disorder. Not a mental disease. These mental disorders are usually treated with a combination of medicines and other means like awareness, meditation, Psychotherapy techniques, life style changes etc. Take care.
