text: i have become more distracted, fogetful, no logical thinking, could this be a sign of depression? abscent mindedness, as if no care in the world, no logical thinking through stuff, a mild form of dislexia (reverse spelling), it is affecting my home and working environment, should i be worried about mental aflictions? the short answer is that yes, it could be a sign of depression, but only if combined with several other factors.  i would advise you to go to the doctor and get checked out for physical problems - then if none are found, you should probably go to a psychiatrist for a consultation.  in addition, a full battery of psychological testing would be a good idea, if possible.  check out the link below for the signs of depression - you have to have 4 or 5 most of the time, for at least 2 weeks, without a situational cause.
