How do we know when a brain is damaged? According to my Psychiatrist, depression left untreated can be very damaging to the brain. I respond well to SSRI's. So I'm left with the choice, which is the worst of the 2? SSRI damage, or damage from the stress of depression?

It may be that some people are damaged, some not. Don't believe everything you are told.
Example: Can brain damage be measured?
Alcohol is a major brain damager, so I have been told all my life. I have seen my wife drink enough beer over the years to fill an Olympic-sized swimming pool. She stopped "cold turkey". I don't see any sign of brain damage. I think she is getting smarter. She can do a Sudoku puzzle faster than anyone I know. From my observations, Alcohol is good for your brain, or at least for her brain. Her social skills, math and problem solving skills are superb. She can do 5 times more work than I can. I don't know what to believe.
