🙏So important to understand this #depresion #depressed #depressive #numb #MentalHealth

💡 "Depression memory difficulties" may look like: Forgetting deadlines, losing general knowledge, forgetting friends birthdays / important social events, not being able to find the words to communicate effectively, or forgetting important habits (e.g. taking medication) . 💡 One of the core symptoms that can contribute to memory issues is "depression numbness". This is because... 👉It leads to decreased “presence” in day-to-day activities - making it difficult to recall things, as well as making it difficult to separate the days from each other 👉It causes emotional flatness and lack of highlights - so events that might normally stand out due to their emotional significance instead pass by without leaving a strong impression, making it harder to recall them later. 👉It causes reduced engagement in activities - and without these activities to differentiate one day from the next, days can start to blur together. . ✏Tweet by @ cloudydaze . #depresion #depresionawareness #MentalHealth #MentalHealthAwareness #numb
