how do you unblock someones short term memory due to depression?

Answer 1

When a person is in a depressed state, they dont think of much else that is going on around them. I dont think its a matter of unblocking someones short term memory loss...its a matter of them not noticing or caring what is going on around them. They are suffering and are totally into themselves and how they are feeling at that time. I think once the depression goes, the short term memories will present themselves again.

Answer 2

Have them think of something that is not depressing!!!!
