How much does anxiety affect memory and could long term anxiety cause Alzheimer's?
I have been depressed for the last four years. My mind is constantly convincing me I have this disease or that one. I am a 46 year old male who is starting to forget things. I know age causes problems but what is normal.
Examples: I was told to tell someone something I forgot to tell them, but remerabered being told to.
I leave the garage door open and leave.
I constantly misplace the things.
I was never the brightest bulb, but never forgot things like this.
I can remeraber lists of things, like a grocery list of 20 or so items. I can remeraber a list of 20 things a week after seeing it for a minute. But that's when I am trying to remeraber them.
