Not likely.: At your age, i highly doubt it. If you are depressed, you may have symptoms of pseudodementia, characterized by forgetfulness, poor attention and concentration , poor memory but this is reversible when the depression is resolved. More likely, you may have a physical problem that explains it. Get a physical from your pcp.
