Found this reddit post. This kinda makes me feel better. And it’s something I think about sometimes because I always feel like regardless of how hard I work on something I don’t get anywhere.
Nice summary. If you’re curious, the anon here is referring to studies over the last decade that have pointed to major impacts on pattern separation with depression, and how depression can have major impacts on nonsynaptic plasticity.
Psychology is amazing folks and more of it needs to be common knowledge
YOUR BRAIN IS AN ORGAN AND DEPRESSION IS A REAL PHYSICAL THING THAT HAPPENS TO IT. THIS IS REALLY SUPER IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER.
Yeah your brain literally isn’t making the corrections and selections it’s meant to when you’re depressed - dean Burnett has a very accessible & plain English section on that in “the idiot brain” (is the last chapter)
I find this really helpful (which is a bit odd, because generally I’m not one for the totally chemical approach, given meds not helping me much) I wish my diagnosis person had told me about this when I was freaking out about my loss of ability to learn/pick up new things. It had not occurred to me that it could be part of the depression package.
(Original comment.)
This is a useful reminder right now.
Okay, but let’s take a minute to appreciate how this means that the people who climb all up on your ass about being a pessimist are, in fact, douchebags, because this is evidently something that you cannot help. Like, you can’t just choose to look on the bright side. You literally can’t. You need actual help.
(Points deducted for the old “exercise and meditation” thing, I’ve found exercise to be of limited usefulness, good short-term but useless for actual management of a major mental illness, and meditation is bad for some people and unbearably goddamn boring for many others, but ymmv.)
