Can brain damage caused by ssri be treated? who should i go to im desperate i never became my former self after taking ssri. i feel so detached foggy.

Brain Damage: While I respect the fact that you have symptoms and they are not pleasant, they are not necessarily from brain damage. Talk w/your doctor about getting off SSRIs if you are still taking them. He/she can also examine you and rule out any other medical conditions. Consult w/a mental health professional to help w/the fogginess. Peace and good health.
