Hi,
I think I have brain fog too. I keep thinking it is psychosis. Now, my pdoc is telling me to get on clozaril because I'm getting schizophrenia. It is really scary thinking your going insane. I've had OCD and chronic depression for years. The OCD caused my depression. My brain fog is characterized by things not looking familiar, sort of having trouble making sense of things, derealization and depersonalization, and time seeming distorted. Does this sound like psychosis or brain fog? I don't know. I was thinking about having a MRI and show to a neurologist/psychiatrist so he could tell me if I have schizophrenia, psychotic depression or what. I'm really obsessed with it and the obsession just makes my condition worse. I read your original post and when my depression started everything went dark in my head. I was convinced it was brain damage and went to a bunch of neurologists and had an MRI which I showed to the guy I mentioned above. Everyone said it was biochemical changes and not brain damage. I finally went to OCD doc and he said that all the weird pains in my head which I thought indicated brain damage were common for people with depression. Sorry to ramble your post just struck a nerve.
Dave
