Very depressed and have been taking nyquil liquicaps to help induce sleep for a week. read that it can damage brain and memory. is this true?

Unlikely but: Greatly doubt that NyQuil would damage your brain but prolonged sleep disruption may potentially cause mental issues. If you have depression issue, I would strongly urge you to seek psychiatric care ASAP.
