Q. I suffer from depression and feel many times that I cannot remember things. Here's another question that I encounter a lot of times: "I suffer from depression and feel many times that I cannot remember things. Is there a relationship between Depression and Alzheimer disease?"

A. Many times there is such a connection: individuals suffering from Depression alone can mistakenly suspect that they suffer from a memory disorder or Dementia. Depression causes individuals to think and act more slowly. This outcome also affects memory functioning. It is important to consult with a specialist for proper diagnosis. Treating the depression will most likely reduce the Dementia-like symptoms. Also, since Depression can serve as a risk factor for Dementia, it is important to address it. The other direction is also true: individuals suffering from Alzheimer disease often suffer from Depression, as they experience their weakening abilities and increased dependency on others to manage their daily functioning.

Q. I'm having problem remembering how to operate a computer software. Is learning possible only at a young age? I have been trying to learn a new software program that my kids got me but I keep forgetting how to get it started. Is learning possible only at a young age?

A. This is a common concern among older adults. However the answer is actually- not at all. People can learn throughout their life span. In fact, it is important to continue and learn new skills as we age. Learning new skills, like new games, new dances, and a new language, and playing a musical instrument, help keep our mind sharp longer. With age, we may be slower to pick up new information. However, the ability to learn does not go away unless we are inflicted with dementia. It may require more effort but you can continue to learn.
