I’m pretty sure it does. It makes me not able to access many of my memories and the information I have stored. What is the science behind it? I just came out of a two year long depression so I figure I will understand the answer if someone explains it. Oh and also … when I’m depressed even this sub is sadly too way hard for me to comprehend. Thank you.

Depression lowers working memory, lowers executive function, lowers cognitive speed, lowers motivation, etc. These all translate into becoming less intelligent.
