Can Stress And Anxiety Cause Memory Loss?

My daughter, age 52, has had anger management issues since adolescence. Six months ago we got into an argument in which we began by telling her news she did not want to hear. The phone conversation ended when she hung up on her mother and me in anger. Since then she has insisted that we never told her the news that we feel led to the hang-up and to an on-going dispute with her. Could her memory loss be related to her anger management issues? And if so, what can we do to help her?
