When I'm severely depressed, I can't think clearly at all, my memory is shot, and I have serious trouble with even routine tasks. The current thinking is that depression is caused, or at least accompanied, by brain cell death. I certainly believe this -- I suspect that if I took an IQ test while depressed vs. normal, there would be at least a 20 pt. difference.
