Ive suffered from anxiety depression for 20 years.  The past 4 months have been the worst, as Ive experienced several major life changes.  Along with the depression & anxiety, my memory seems to be affected too.  Im worried I could have early set Alzheimers. Is there a test I can take for it?
Dear, We understand your concerns went through your details.  Memory problems are part of anxiety and depression. When stress plays its part in the run-up to anxiety and depression, the memory problems are always there. This does not mean that you are moving towards dementia and Alzheimer. Anxiety and Depression Increase Dementia Risk by around 5 to 10 percent point. But, in truth, this seldom happens. Once you understand your anxiety and depression and learn to live with it, you learn to manage it. The risk of Alzheimer is considerably lessened. You can consult a neurologist who will be able to test you for memory problems, and he will also study your brain images for possible dementia symptoms. Till then, do not worry about that.
