In reply to loss of memory--link to depression?, posted by smokeymadison on July 4, 2005, at 16:03:27
The closest I can come to having an answer is that when I am in a major depression, I notice far less of the world around me. News, family events, the whole episode can be a big blur afterwards. Perhaps it's partly a function of the illness so we don't recall how unhappy we've been, too? Though I can certainly remember enough about my depressions to know I don't want to relive any of them. But I haven't lost previously existing memories.
