How to improve cognitive function in psychiatric disorders?
I have been drinking antipsychotics and antidepressants for about 10 years, there is a suspicion of neurosis-like schizophrenia, but usually they talk about anxiety-depressive, recently I have become very absent-minded, it is difficult to make a decision, I can't formulate thoughts normally and talk about something, my memory is also very bad. I know antipsychotics also affect this, but I can't stop drinking them now. This condition makes it very difficult to communicate and work with psychologists. I would like to know how you can learn to formulate thoughts, prevent dullness, and improve your intellectual abilities. The HDP says that this is part of the disease and is not treated, but I don't believe it.
Good afternoon, it is simply impossible to answer your question unequivocally and simply.
It all depends on the disease, on the therapy.
Judging by how and what you wrote here , you do not have a gross decrease in cognitive functions.
Subjectively, there may be a feeling that “memory is no longer the same” with depression, anxiety, and other disorders.
Therefore, it is necessary to find a doctor who would not dismiss blaming only on “such a disease”. We need a doctor who would try to do something about it. You also need to review your therapy – choose another antipsychotic, antidepressant, etc.
In general, everything is very individual.
