Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Stress can not cause memory loss.
So for his symptoms (memory loss), better to first consult neurologist to rule out alziemer's disease.
If this is not seen then consult psychiatrist for stress and depression.
He may need anxiolytic and anti depressant drugs.
Don't worry, he will be alright with all these.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your husband. Thanks.
