Dear Molly, I empathize with you concerning your issues with your memory and feeling you have experienced depression. I highly recommend that you see your primary care physician to get a thorough checkup. This will help with determining if there are any physical, treatable reasons for your memory loss and depression. Some examples include anemia and an underactive thyroid condition. After your doctor has ruled out any medical reasons for your memory loss and depression, you can discuss a referral to your local psychiatric clinic.
Memory loss can be a symptom of depression, which is termed pseudodementia.
When the depression is treated, the memory loss diminishes. It appears that you have been learning about psychiatric conditions that could contribute to depression, which includes borderline personality disorder. I would recommend discussing your concerns with a trained mental health worker in your area. Always check with your personal physician when you have a question pertaining to your health.
