Depression can cause memory loss and difficulty concentrating

Sometimes difficulty with memory or concentration can actually be a symptom of depression. Tracy Shannon, PsyD, a rehabilitation psychologist at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center, explains how assessment can help pinpoint whether memory loss and concentration problems are related to dementia or are instead, symptoms of depression, which can be treated.

I could say something then 5 seconds later I forget, and my mum just calls me stupid for it. She tells me how lazy I am because I don’t want to go outside and I don’t want to eat so I don’t want to tell her because I’m scared she’ll blame me for it

Nice to know you won't actually say what'll help them without someone paying you

Remembering what i ate last night. things i put deliberately, now searching where they go, confused with words and their spellings, forget what someone order to do, sometimes i just forget what i want to say .i want to put dishes in sink but put on fridge, i forgot which way i should take turn and proceeds. The major one is the spelling one i cause me a lot of problem
