Can depression or bipolar disorder cause severe memory loss? How to deal with it?

I use a person who has come from the past (I am a bipolar disorder patient and has been depressed most of the time) to assure me that it is absolutely that others used to be able to memorize three pages of a book, and I could memorize ten pages, but since I was more severely depressed in 2006, I often forget the things I did or my homework immediately. But you can rest assured that as long as the depression is controlled, my memory can be restored, and now my memory can be the same as that of a normal person. If you are mildly depressed, you can regulate it yourself, but if you have moderate or severe depression, you have to add medication**, two-way, it is impossible to regulate it by yourself, in addition to drugs**, you also have to participate in more sports, if you can't untie the knot yourself, you can find a psychological counselor to help.

Those psychologists who preach that all mental illness (psychosis) cannot take medicine can only say that they are either cheating money, or they have no knowledge at all, and medicine and psychology are the best way).

I had bipolar disorder 6 years ago, and I have been taking medication, and I have taken a lot because of ** many times.

In the first few years, there is memory decay, and the cause of the disease is partial, but it is mainly the effect of drugs. Two years ago, I switched to a new drug, and after that, my memory began to recover, and I am recovering well so far. It's just a little hard to concentrate.

Also, my overall memory is better now than it was before I got sick.

The prognosis of bipolar disorder is still good, much stronger than that of the fine score, so the impact of the disease alone is not great, as long as you recover well. In addition, if you are in your twenties (I don't know how old you are), your memory itself will deteriorate, so it may be due to your age.

Cantonese people in Guangdong: "This friend said it very well. If you were really depressed or bipolar back then, you had to take it seriously. Both of these diseases are very effective.

Just don't just stop taking the drug. Be sure to taper the medicine slowly under the guidance of a doctor. As the condition improves, the memory will gradually improve.

If you are very sure, you can stop the drug. Now if you don't take medication. Then go to a doctor.

Exercising more and participating in group sports will help you.

I want to know, how did you do it, what kind of medicine did you take, memory loss may be related to the medicine you take, and Western medicine is originally ***. Therefore, it is recommended that you still try it with Chinese medicine! Good luck soon**!

Do more sports that you are interested in, cut off that dead end, and then find real Chinese medicine conditioning.

First of all, let's get straight to the point, bipolar disorder does not cause memory loss. Subjectively, sensory memory loss is a delusion caused by factors such as slow thinking, decreased mood, and decreased concentration caused by depressive states in bipolar disorder.

Bipolar disorder, also known as manic-depressive disorder, is divided into manic states and depressive states, which are two almost completely opposite states, so it is called bipolar disorder. In a manic state, the mind is quick, and it can even be called a rushing mind, high mood, decreased sleep, increased activity, high energy, restlessness, and a tendency to hurt others. In a depressive state, it is the opposite, with sluggish thinking, decreased mood, insomnia, dreams, reduced activity, and more severe suicidal tendencies.

Bipolar disorder is characterized by not admitting that you have a disease, that is, not being self-aware.

The depressive state of bipolar disorder should be distinguished from depressive neurosis. Bipolar affective disorder is a major mental illness, while depressive neurosis is a psychological disorder. An important indicator of the distinction between the two is self-control, which means that depressive neurosis tends to admit that it is a disease state, while bipolar disorder does not admit that it is sick.

The depressive states of depressive neurosis and bipolar disorder also differ in terms of symptoms. Depressive neurosis is less likely to have suicidal tendencies, and symptoms such as mood disorders and behavioral disorders are mild.

Both bipolar disorder and depressive neurological disorder have normal memory and no memory loss. Patients often think that their energy is low due to slow thinking, poor concentration, depressed mood, and memory loss.

First, in any case, as emotions become extreme, memory problems arise.

Second, when a person's mood changes, the way blood flows into the corresponding memory and cognitive areas of the brain (such as the prefrontal cortex, hippocampus, anterior cingulate cortex, etc.) changes, causing your process of updating your memories to also change.

In addition, patients with bipolar disorder sometimes have little sleep but are still energetic or awake, and the brain is unable to organize information during the rest time, which can also lead to poor memory.

Bipolar Disorder** means of the following:

1. Drugs**: including anti-manic, antidepressant and mood stabilizing drugs, which need to be standardized under the guidance of a doctor;

2. Psychology: Psychology includes family system, cognitive behavior, etc., in addition, painting art, etc. are also helpful;

3. Physical**: no convulsive electroconvulsions** has a good effect and is relatively safe, and the effect is better for refractory mania and depression. The specific medication should be combined with clinical practice, and the doctor's face-to-face guidance shall prevail.

If you are really diagnosed, it is a relatively serious mental illness. Second only to fine points. Then if you feel that your memory has deteriorated, you can use some methods.

to help you exercise your memory, for example. Do something, you can write it down in a journal with a pen, well, and then at night you will remember what you did today? If you didn't think of anything you did the other day, it depends on the notes you recorded.

Help yourself.
