The Dhaka Times Desk Depression makes us forget many things. Some very common things do not come to our mind then. Our report today is about this sadness.
If we remember things like our daily routine well, we don't suffer from forgetting. Do we remember all the necessary things? When asked how many times it is today, we look at the clock. It is important for us to remember this though. Every one of us wastes some time every day searching for a key, a file or a necessary item. We don't mind it. Most of the time we are fine despite our many limitations. Eg: We cannot see an object a mile away. Can't even hear the sound of an insect's wings.
We forget many things of the past. But there are times when we forget more than usual. This too much forgetting makes us anxious - depressed. We tend to forget more when we are worried or depressed.
When we are depressed we see the bad side of everything, ourselves and everything in the world, and we blame ourselves more for our natural inferiority complex.
When depression is deep, thinking becomes very slow. We are not wrapped up in ourselves. Then I don't notice what is happening around. And so we forget it. Because we don't care about it.
People who suffer from depression often have restlessness. As a result, the mind cannot concentrate on anything. Restlessness and slow thinking both reduce a depressed person's ability to remember.
Depression sometimes impairs memory so much that people mistake it for dementia. That's why depression calls this forgetting pseudo-amnesia.
Psychiatric tests can differentiate between depression, forgetfulness and amnesia. Interestingly, anger is the cause of forgetfulness in most cases due to depression but not amnesia.
When we are anxious about something, we cannot concentrate on anything else. It can be seen that when going for an exam or an interview, with increasing age, all kinds of skills of our body and mind decrease. The ability to remember is also reduced. That's why we can't learn new things in old age. Although it is not impossible. This is called age-associated memory impairment.
The kind of memory problems that come with age. Because as we age, the amount of information stored in our brain increases. It will take more time to extract the necessary information from these data accumulated day by day.
Psychological factors that can cause forgetfulness include:
# is a bore
# Fatigue
# sleep sleep etc
# Physical illness
# Hearing impaired
# low vision in the eye
# Chronic pain anywhere in the body
# Head injury
# alcohol
# and sleeping pills can cause memory impairment.
There are also some other physical ailments that reduce memory. In this case, the cause of major diseases in the heart and lungs is reduced oxygen circulation to the brain. So everyone should remember these things.
