Symptoms of brainfog: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 18:31, 11 February 2024

It is important to realise that brainfog is a symptom of another condition, and so the symptoms you see here purely relate to brainfog. You will definitely have more symptoms than this. This list is designed to help you understand and categorise your symptoms, and help those unsure if they have brainfog, determine if they do.

You don't have to have every symptom on this list to have brainfog, and you do not have to have a certain severity of each symptom either. If you believe there are symptoms specifically to brainfog that we have not included here, please use the discussion page.

Symptoms

Confusion

You may feel dazed, and unable to translate what is around you. This will be particularly strong if your brainfog has just been retriggered by your root cause.

Numbness

You may feel numb, and as if your senses are numbed out.

Difficulty concentrating

You may struggle to focus on what you are doing.

Derealisation

You may experience derealisation. This seems to go side-by-side with brainfog.

Memory Issues

This is a definitive symptom of brainfog, and can vary widely in presented severity.
