    I used to do soduko puzzles and since all this mental health stuff started I find them impossible. So the cognitive impairment is too real! Every little step matters!

    This is so heartwarming. The cognitive impairment is real. I suffer from depression. I also play the accordion, mostly French music such as musette waltzes. When I am depressed my technique decreases noticeably. I cannot play as fast as I would like. My coordination is much worse as if my fingers lost their agility. I make mistakes, etc.

    i've gotten better over time after 5 years of recovering from acute psychosis, when i got into the welfare system, started to participate with the recommendations and advice given, stepping out of comfort zone, challenging myself, playing chess, working out, gaining mass, getting outside the territory i'm comfortable in and exploring new things, although i got smarter too, sort of, i'm relatively much better functioning than i was a teenager or pre-pubescent. I have PDD-NOS, psychotic disorder - nos, anxiety disorder, OCD.

    I can agree with this. (I started following your channel because my mom is schizophrenic) but I am on the keto diet and I can 100% agree that my brain works much better on healthy fats than carbohydrates.

    I used to have chronic brain fog and short-term memory issues with anxiety attacks, mood swings, and unhealthy and impulsive behaviors. I was diagnosed celiac, and after eliminating all traces of gluten, and lower carbs overall, I have greatly improved my mood, social interactions, memory, and stress. I didn't really have the best coping skills, but now my insight is so different. I always thought it was just a gastrointestinal and malabsorption problem, but diet affects my overall psychological well-being!😊

      @@Igor_lvanov Interesting. I am on a lithium lamotrigine combo right now, but was on seroquel before and can hardly imagine that other people would like it. It is so sedative, my cognitive functions declined, I wasn't as aware of my own emotions and thoughts anymore, which made it so hard to actually work on myself. It changed me entirely.

    the puzzle is hard not because your intelligence is low, but rather the problem is in the shape recognition of your brain, your intelligence reflects on your ability to go beyond the shape abstraction and finish the puzzle, which is brilliant!!!. For a normal human being the task will be equivalent if she takes hallucinogen before the puzzle, which then becomes very difficult to complete
