Memory issues

Hey all

Has anyone found that their memory has been affected as a result or either mental illness or medication or maybe even both?

I didn't experience any mental health issues until last year but since then my memory has been not quite like it used to.

Sometimes I'll need to re read a page twice for the information to sink in. Or I might go into the kitchen and forget why I went in there.

I use post it notes a lot these days. As I'm studying I really notice it a lot.

I have raised this with my GP and psychologist but neither can tell me definitively whether it's having a mental illness or the medication. Just that I'll need to live with it.

Any input would be great. I'd love to read about others experiences with memory issues.

Thank you x
