This article discuss memory loss due to depression. Researchers hypothesize that depression slow downs the creation of nerve cells.
Sometimes in older people, it gets mistaken as dementia because of same symptoms both diseases share.
It is also worth noting that some anti-depressants can cause memory loss. I wonder if there would be a difference presented in those receiving treatment and those who don't?
I didn't realise there was a correlation with this at all! PTSD sufferers also confess to having symptoms such as memory loss - I wonder if this is somehow linked as a way of the brain trying to protect itself.
Thanks for this informative article on memory loss.
Good to know, thanks for posting this info! This might help us take the pressure off of ourselves when we're depressed. At least I hope so..
interesting how depression is affecting our brain and leading towards memory loss is actually shocking
