I keep forgetting


"People who have had depression are more likely to develop Alzheimer's disease than people who have never had depression...."

Everyone I know likes to make fun of my really bad memory. I can't remember who I've told what (which makes me a bad liar) and who was with me when I did something. I often tell stories to folks that have been with me when the event happened. Amanda jokes that I've already got Alzheimer's.

Now there's a study saying I just might have a higher chance of getting it because I suffer from depression. They did a study with major depressives, but I bet bipolar has the same effect. I also wonder how much the meds we take have to do with memory loss. That would be a good study to do.
