I know causation doesn't equal correlation but it seems logical that her complaints of cognitive impairment are due to the meds.The point regarding the existence of cognitive deficits associated with major depressive disorder is fact. Whether or not Maxime falls into this category, I can't know for sure. I guess we'll find out if she decides to discontinue her medications whether or not they are responsible for any cognitive impairments.
By the way, why would it be logical that it is the medication rather than the illness producing the cognitive impairments reported by Maxime?
I am sure of nothing.
