In their words
- At worst: Mild
I am still able to complete basic tasks as my job as a data scientist (more like a data analyst for the type of work I do), but my interest to learn more has been reduced to nothing.

Summary
They had been on abilify 5 mg daily for almost a year for latent psychosis. They reported major declines in cognitive ability, memory, and ability to feel pleasure or joy, describing themselves as a walking corpse and like a dementia patient. They remained able to complete basic tasks at their data scientist job but felt less creative, talkative, and lively. They said they had no choice because abilify kept latent psychosis at bay.
