Depression and brain fog: Does it affect your memory, focus, or decision-making?

Hi everyone,

If you’ve ever felt like your brain is "stuck in mud" during a depressive episode, you’re not imagining it. Depression can cause something often called "brain fog”, a mix of poor concentration, forgetfulness, and slow thinking.

• Do you experience brain fog with depression?
• How does it affect your daily life or responsibilities?
• What helps you push through or adapt when it’s especially bad?
