Hey all, I've been having significant bipolar episodes (including psychosis) since I was about 12, and have finally managed to get it under control in the last five years (in my 30s now). My meds have been significantly reduced because I don't need to be heavily sedated anymore, I'm in therapy and doing great, have social support, etc. 

Despite all this, I feel like I'm not as sharp as I used to be. I know having repeated episodes can cause brain damage (is that the right word to use?) and I feel like that may have happened to me. I'm on lithium, which I know can be regenerative, but am wondering if I have to be on it for like decades to see results. Has anyone else worked their way through this and have recommendations? Should I be doing crosswords or something (lol)?
