Most people here show signs of reversible damage. I don't care what psychiatrist say they are not real doctors and are teached nonsense and practice lazy medicine. There are many thousands of people worldwide complaining about the same things, side effects from meds. These meds are neurotoxic.
Signs of severe braindamage would be ; anhedonia, complete loss of smell, long term akathesia, severe brainfog, severe memory impairment, complete loss of emotions, long term movement disorders including dyskinesia, blurry vision/ loss of vision, loss of hearing, reduced coordination and reduced nerve sensitivity in limbs or hand(measurable). If you have zero improvement or abysmal improvement in a few years time you probably have long term damage, chances are you get a slight recovery anywhere in 10 years and regaining some function through neuroplasticity where other brain areas take over/compensate the loss of function. Another sign of severe damage is burning brain syndrom where you get encephalitis and brain swelling
Another dramatic symptom of severe braindamage is not able to distinguish between the mental/physical state before the accident and after (wether be kinetic trauma or chemical). People will go around claiming they are cured while having severe symptoms. These people usually have severe behavioural problems you can also notice their grammar is really off, they also can make erratic statements and out of the ordinary religious statements.
However people who don't fully recover but claim to have recovered can also suffer from certain personality disorders such as narcistic personality disorder or avoidant personality disorder. I've seen many people on here that aren't mentally ill but do have personality disorders of any kind. You simply don't know their situation they can have full recovery but are attention seeking and claim they never recovered.
Anyway if you lost emotions and they don't come back after years you definitely got damage. I've seen user invegasucks and AP sucks about burning brain. That's definitely encephalitis. APsucks also said he lost emotions and dirtyinvega said something similar not having improvements after 5 years. I'm truly sorry for those guys
Lately i don't have the energy or motivation to check all kinds of forums because there's so much negativity on them it's not fun reading about problems. Maybe i'm insensitive or simply unable to know because i never experienced what you guys experienced. Most of you are in total panic about not ever getting better. Most of you are just a few months off medication and you're already in total panic you haven't even crossed the 2 or 3 year threshold yet. I've even seen some people improving 7 years off meds.
Another case where someone suffered two years from akathesia because of anti-depressants. Suddenly got better after two years, weird things can happen but things also can suddenly improve the last day.
I know it sucks having these symptoms for such a long time but its nothing compared to trauma induced by severe kinetic accidents where people have such brain damage they are anhedonic for decades. They have such bad anhedonia they cannot even get the newspaper out of the mailbox. If breathing wasn't regulated by the parasympethic system they would've stopped breathing a long time ago.
only some will understand but that arousal for women basically confirms you are a man so having that gone makes me feel less of a man but i have a life to live i can’t sit around and do nothing as much as i want to. I believe I will heal and only time can do that many people healed from pssd and other problems so why wouldn’t i heal from just pssd only with 2 shots. It just still is a shock everyday looking at all these beautiful women everyday and not getting aroused/interested at all especially compared to pre-invega hopefully i could get back to exactly how i was
