Memorize

[franciscaag]

Since I started having anti depression I could not memorize like before or concentrate on my studies in the past and now I want to take some courses this summer.  Can I still courses if I have anti depression? And, how can I get well from this anti depression?

I assume you mean you're taking an antidepressant and you feel it has affected your ability to focus and concentrate?  If so, if the drug is new to you this might go away.  If it's not new to you and this has been going on for awhile, it might be that this med isn't the right one for you.  You might want to bring this up with your psychiatrist.

No, I don't take any antidepressant medication. Now, I at the point where I do not want to talk with people or I'm not socialize.  I feel down and I just want to stay home.  And I often forgot things or people names.  And I cannot memorized words like I used to memorized stuffs when I was in elementary or high school.

You could just talk to your psychiatrist, and may be you will feel better with time? Or if this has been going on from a long time, then may be you should change your medicine.

Yes, I will talk with my doctor. I am just waiting for my appointment day and time.
