Depression is a state of mind in which one feels low and shows utter disinterest or rather aversion towards any kind of activities.

I have an atrocious memory. I can’t remember if I’ve eaten, I can’t remember how to tell if I’m full or hungry, I can’t remember if I’ve slept, I can’t remember… well anything really. I can remember the English language, that’s pretty much it. I’ve never had a good memory, but it’s gotten steadily worse over the years (I’ve verified this).

Just to note, I don’t take drugs of any kind (caffeine and alcohol included). I read and do other mentally stimulating activities constantly. I have suffered a great amount of head injuries (self inflicted) , but I don’t have any brain damage as far as the doctors can tell.
