Let's put some of these memory issues in context. I have a difficult time remembering what I had for breakfast this morning or even if I had breakfast. It has not changed my life.

Remembering if I took meds or my vitamin regimen is a change with an impact, eventually.

Remembering peoples' names is a bigger issue but there is a specific part of the brain that needs to function well for names and connecting names to faces. It creates challenges for me but again, has not been a life changer.

Smart phones are great for memory issues. I was told to use a note pad to write down things I need to remember. My problem is I forget what I need to write down while getting out my notepad.

Oh yeah, the subject was depression and memory.

My NeuroPsych tried to say all of my memory dysfunction was due to depression. Only one problem. His tests showed I was not struggling with depression. He tried to say I faked the memory tests and that my depression answers were false, too. So, I don't necessarily trust some of these comments.
