I can very much relate. My memory has been total crap for a few years now. I figured it was due to several suicide attempts, but after a LOT of testing (including neuro psych) everything came back find 'physically'.

What they told me is that I have "Psychomotor retardation". I have to admit - that I literally laughed out loud when I was told I was retarded. Sorry if this offends anyone - but it sounded funny to me.

What it MEANS is everything is slowed down dramatically due to the depression. It is temporary as you go through your depression.

Hope that helped.
