Can Depression Cause Short Term Memory Loss?

[Youryeodongsaeng]

Yes, it can.

I've been experiencing this for a long time. I had my senior prom yesterday, and it has all been a blur to me, looking back on last night. I do remember meeting a few select of people, but I can hardly remember what they wore, except for three. I remember doing activities as well and how to play them.

I fail to remember my family member's faces even when I grew up with them, but I know what they look like.

I forget what someone tells me.

I remember telling my aunt the reason why I can't remember a few things after it was just told me (like, yesterday), was because of my depression and she accused me of making excuses. But is it really an excuse if it's true?
