I complained to my PCP about not being able to remember words when talking, so she sent me for a hearing test and an evaluation for dementia/alzheimers via a PhD psychologist. He dx'd me as having depression, but my cognitive tests were all over the board, so he referred me to a PhD psychologist for further evaluation. The depression turned out to have some serious origins that I had no knowledge of - that, and severe attachment disorder from being adopted and abused. I would have never thought therapy would be the treatment that could bring my words back...assuming they will come back, eventually.
