> Have either of you ever considered adrenal fatigue? I have similar symptoms as does another friend on the Alternative board and we think we have this along with depression. It is more of a holistic diagnosis but it said to result from severe stress and sleep deprivation. Mine did not come on so suddenly but has been building up whereas my friend's came on very suddenly.

I think "brain fog" is symptom, not a disease. As I've mentioned before, it can be caused by many different biological problems. In some cases it might be beyond the scope of modern medicine to treat (traumatic head injuries, ischemic damage ect.), but I'd wager that most sufferers could nail down the cause by simply examining their lives.
In my case, sleep deprivation and chronic stress are major factors. I've also learned that depression is not my only problem.
