Does Lack Of Sleep Lead To Memory Loss?

Hello. I have a C section September 11,2014. I m 19 years old. The hospital gave me Hydrocodone for pain relief. Then my Obgyn gave me Oxycodone. Ever since then I have been having problems functioning. I have memory loss. Then I went to a Mental Institute they diagnosed me with depression. And prescribed me with Risperdone and Zoloft. Is my memory lost because I don t get enough sleep?

Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. Lack of sleep cannot be a reason for memory loss. Depression is the cause of it. That is not actually memory loss. But inability to perceive circumstances and things. That is happening through depression. Depression can impair your cognitive functions and motor activities as well as emotions. You have been given with Risperdone and Zoloft to overcome such a disorder. Just work with your psychiatrist. You should be alright.

Psychotherapy techniques should suit your requirement. If you require more of my help in this aspect, Please post a direct question to me in this URL. http://goo.gl/aYW2pR. Make sure that you include every minute details possible. I shall prescribe the needed psychotherapy techniques.

Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications.
Good luck.
