Depression can also aggravate memory and focus as well.
That is a good point that I hadn't considered. It is true that my diet has been rather poor since I started working, though I am not sure how long it really takes for a deficiency. My diet was so-so I guess prior to getting the job, but has been pretty poor since, now that I think about it. I don't eat breakfast because I will throw it up if I do. At work I might have a cheap junk food snack from the store if my blood sugar gets low. When I get home from work I don't eat because I am stressed. In the evening I have whatever my mother and her husband decide to have, which us usually starches.
