This is sort of the TLDR - I had tried a bunch of things over a few years, changing my diet, more exercise, various antidepressants etc... - none of it really did anything at all.
I went and saw a new psychiatrist and he wondered if it was perhaps a dopamine regulation issue. As such he prescribed Bupropion - which is only prescribed in Australia as a smoking cessation aid - but off label / in other countries it can be prescribed as an atypical anti-depressant.
Almost all antidepressants work on serotonin and norepinephrine - however, bupropion works on dopamine, hints being known as an atypical anti-depressant.
Within about five days, it felt like I'd been swimming underwater and surfaced to the clear air for the first time in five or so years. And within, perhaps a month or two, my is completely back to where I was say eight or nine years ago, perhaps even slightly better.
A few other things changed such as ever since I was little child. I was a chronic nail biter - at within two months that was completely gone and hasn't come back over a year later.
So that fixed my cognition, and I now know that it's a dopamine regulation issue, and is completely treatable.
