What are the causes of brain fog? is brain fog dangerous?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Many causes; danger!: "Brain fog" is too vague a term to do much with, but a "clouded sensorium" is a medical concept in which a person is poorly oriented, or experiencing incoherence of thought. Since the world is a dangerous place, and an inability to think clearly puts you at great risk, it is ALWAYS "dangerous". The causes include anything that disrupts normal function of the brain... drugs/toxins being most common
