An Odd Depression Symptom Confirmed by Study





The cause could be a lack of new brain cells in the hippocampus.



Depressed people find it harder to tell similar memories apart, research finds.

It may be difficult for depressed people to remember who they have told what, or where something happened.


The more depressed people are, the more they seem to forget the details that help to make memories distinct.

The cause could be a lack of new brain cells in the hippocampus, an area vital to memory.

It is not a generalised memory problem, though, the researchers think.
