I've read that depression actually shrinks parts of your brain and damages it because of overabundance of stress hormones, chemical imbalances, etc.
I've been suffering from depression for quite a while (almost a decade). I keep remembering all those years back when this never was happening, and I keep remembering the years when it began to build up. All I can remember is that slowly every year, it seemed as if I was thinking less and less, becoming less and less efficient. Things that came to be so easily before are so incredibly difficult and even impossible now. That's really sad because I think my mind has been reduced to the point where I think I was smarter 10 years ago than I am now. I used to look down on kids who didn't get good grades in school because I didn't understand how it could be so difficult. Now I am one of those kids. I almost dropped out of high school and I have dropped out of college twice.
Anyways, is there a chance I could become the way I was before?
