The best recommendations include a combination of medication management, cognitive behavioral therapy, self-help, and healthy lifestyle choices. SSRI's are commonly prescribed for Depression and OCD. It is certainly possible that the obsessive nature of your thinking interferes with concentration and memory. Hypersomnia or insomnia also make anxiety, depression, and executive functioning worse.
