Suggest treatment for short term memory loss with depression
human
Hi there, I ve had significant memory loss ( short term ) for about a month now. Two days ago I got a fever which progressed into a migraine and extremely sore joints. I noticed a dent in the right side of my forehead which was never there before & was not caused my injury. My short term memory loss is getting worse and my migraine is now in my right eye as well as in the right side of my head. I also have Behçet s disease but have not been diagnosed with any neurological problems. Through out these past few days I ve also felt very irritable and have had random signs of depression. What could this all mean?

hi dear,irritability and short term memory loss are the signs of depression and so you must consult psychiatrist so your depression and migraine both treated simultaneously.is there any other features associated like low mood, loss of interest, sleep disturbance, appetite disturbance, irritability, suicidal ideas, fatigue etc...?not to worry much.there are many treatment strategies like medication, ECT, psychotherapy etc..first consult psychiatrist for detail history and mental status examination.Thank you
