Memory key issue for tasks that are repetitive. Have BS degree= Administrative /Secreterial work for many yrs. Become very nervous, depressed. No family , financial or obvious issues or problems- Just HEP C (from hospital transfusion1980). No smoking, drugs or drinking Is this the Hep C. Need help , but what kind? I cant function at my job anymore. Doctor: Hi,  You will benefit for a formal Neuropsychological consultation which could also be preceded by a visit to a behavioral neurologist in order to see if you may be exhibiting signs and symptoms of cognitive dysfunction secondary to your history of HCV or any of its treatments (if you've received such).    There may be other rather simple metabolic abnormalities that should be checked as well as serum Vit. B12, D, B1, and a good thyroid profile.  Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.   Regards, Dr. Dariush Saghafi,  Neurologist
