Mood and memory issues
When left untreated, a chronic obstructive pulmonary disease can lead to memory and mood problems. This could appear due to the lack of oxygen supply to the brain. Sadly, mood and memory issues are common symptoms of many medical issues.
One thing is certain: Around 40 percent of people with COPD are depressed. And while this percentage may come from the emotional impact of knowing you have a chronic condition, a lack of oxygen may cause mood changes, too, as studies suggest.
If you’re feeling depressed lately and you can’t really blame it on something, talk to a professional.
