soupyderrickfranthony:beckitty:For those who don’t know, and this is important, depression and anxiety cause both short term and long term memory problems while you are suffering with them. This is such a problem that dementia cannot be diagnosed in someone with depression or anxiety, as they cause a false positive on the memory tests. So of you have either depression or anxiety, be kind to yourself about your memory. Don’t criticise yourself when it isn’t working properly, and put things in place to help with it, whatever works for you.Reblogging this version as well - this is so important Mine was so bad I was put on Alzheimer’s medication for memory loss (which didn’t help, just grinding through therapy and giving everything a dedicated location did). -- source link
