Help I have a question to somebody who understand neurology

[Hadnafoflife]

I had a brain with certain mental abilities and I lost them after a trauma, I experienced psychosis and now I'm on high dosage medication, once I will be off the medication and I will practice meditation now and in the future is my past brain likely to return?

Physical trauma (trauma to the brain like a concussion) or mental?

Mental, I had a freeze response and severe anxiety

This is more of a psychology thing, then. Unless you're implying that the high-dosage medication gave neurological side effects?

Depends. Are you schizophrenic? Not to pry and definitely not to be read as derogatory. You mentioned psychosis, and schizophrenia often debuts unexpectedly and is adult-onset.

People with schizophrenia have the best chance at a good life if they stay on (relatively high dose) medication life-long. Kinda same for bipolar with psychotic mania.
People who have those conditions do experience a cognitive decline after the illness debuts. And later, from medication also. But the alternative isn't something that can be controlled with meditation, it's a harmful chaos that can end pretty bad. There is just a new baseline to be established and maintained.

Now if you don't have those conditions and experienced a single lapse, brains are very plastic and resilient. They regenerate and recover pretty well over time, absolutely you should return to baseline eventually, don't rush and be patient

I don't have schizophrenia, Thank you.
Does this include all the mental abilities i had prior to the trauma? (If I meditate of course)

Meditation isn't end all be all. It's mostly just time. Our bodies are good at regenerating

What?

Neurology is based the in physical structure of the brain.

Psychology is your mental function.

There is some overlap, but psychology seems more on topic here since you mentioned that the psychosis wasn't from schizophrenia.

What "mental abilities" do you lack now that you want to come back?

Wittines, Humor, Social intuition, Chillness, Assertiveness and Decisivness

Wittines, Humor, Social intuition, Chillness, Assertiveness and Decisivness

Meditation likely won't bring back all of those on it's own. Wittiness and humor are things that can be practiced, just get in tune with your own sense of humor again, let yourself laugh! Meditating might help you feel safe enough to do this at least.

As for other things, unpacking your trauma can sometimes allow your mind to feel safe enough to achieve that—but unpacking trauma on your own isn't always the safest.

Do you have access to a therapist or at least mental health support group? And why are you going off of the pills?

First I never recommend therapy/psychiatry and antidepressants because it is harmful scam. Similar or even worse than Synthology and Jehova. The workers in this business are have nationalsocialist values and use often gaslighting and RAID method to catch you and cage you away. They get rich from this while their patients lose their health, homes, family, friends, purpose and everything.

Meditation is good but might not always be the most effective help, if someone has experienced trauma. For meditation it's really important to have a safe space where you can feel secure on your own.

The body always reacts to stress, sometimes even leading to organ damage or even strokes/heart attack. The best thing is often to get away from the stressful situation/humans and move to a better environment – although this is not always easy, especially if you are poor or lack a supportive social network.

For dealing with anxiety, medications like Xanax are often recommended, but they are all very addictive.

Personally, I would suggest focusing on physical safety, such as carrying a bodycam outside, big dog, and paying close attention to nutrition – eat foods rich in fiber, vitamins, minerals, and healthy fats, use supplements while keeping sugar intake low.

Healthy eating can support the body greatly. In contrast, drugs and medications often make things worse in the long run because medical/pharma lives from illness, weak humans and so on. Many humans who are on the antidepressants get very sick, they become fat and psychotic, if they try to not eat them anymore they can get epilepsy symptoms and have similar bad symptoms like someone who don't take his heroin/alcohol or worse.

Ah, yes, these two things do not contradict at all. Totally. (This is sarcasm for any autists reading this)

That's.. that's just called withdrawal. If you are weaned off your medications instead of "going cold turkey," this usually doesn't happen. Quitting cold turkey can cause brain damage, that's why it caused epilepsy symptoms. You damaged your brain by being impatient.

Y'know if you have such a hard time waiting for things, maybe you need ADHD medication in particular. Just a thought.
