I don't know if that might be your problem or not, just something I've run into and don't really know the answer to yet.
My psychiatrist pretty much flat-out said it's due to depression and that there's nothing to be done about it. I'm hoping my memory will go back to being not as bad (I'm talking within the last few months even... at least the last year). Until then: any ideas on how to deal with it?
