Fish oil, as linkadge pointed out, is very helpful--get some good stuff. Folic acid too, and B-6. Lithium, and all stabilizers really, can lead to mental slowing in some (should I say many?) people. That's probably a bad choice for you. SSRI's can do the same thing, though not as severely I've found. At 40mg and above of Celexa, my cognitive abilities diminished (temporarily), same with Zoloft above 75, and with Lexapro above 5.
I certainly understand your concerns. My college GPA college dropped .3 or so while I was being treated with the wrong dosages of SSRI's. And my depression, as you could guess, worsened.
Best,
