so cognitive enhancers are legal and scientifically-proven?

It is a good teaching, but I still don't see whether after this (superficial) diagnosis she is about to recover more (it was told to me that the recovery lasts up to two years), or is she going to fall more and more into problems with understanding, up to the moment when she is not going to be able to recognize any of us. She was perfectly normal before aneurysm exploded. If anyone read this and has any idea, I would be grateful for any kind of answer.

I am trying to understand whether it is possible to recover somewhat after aneurysm snaps and the stroke happens; so it happened twice and the doctor said after simple conversation, no scan, that she is in psycho-organic syndrome, which i found later to be called dementia. It was really hard operation and she was in the intensive care for more than 50 days.
