My short term memory has been poor lately, can anyone relate? Can anxiety, depression, ADHD and OCD cause memory issues?
Yes they are all associated with interrupting short term memory before it gets converted to long term memory.

Hey @TheCanuk I have struggled with my memory for years and I was put on fish oil for my cholesterol and noticed a huge difference in my memory. I really recommend adding fish oil to boost your memory. My Dr. prescribes it and Medicare pays for it so that’s a bonus if you have Medicare.

I have a rough time in cycles. Sometimes I feel as if it’s dementia. My pdoc told me it’s normal with sz and sza to experience cognitive difficulties.

@TheCanuk I hope you can get some help with that. I don’t know your age, but I too worry about dementia when I’m having an off day.

Low Working memory issues create problems like ocd, adhd etc but it won’t affect your long term memory in any way. In fact long term memory gets better as you are avoiding distraction when memorizing.
