HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Depression can be associated with memory loss as part of the illness, there may also be difficulty concentrating on work as well.
Persons may be addicted to porn and other vices but you need to try to break the addiction so you can concentrate on your studies. It must be a conscious effort to do it.
If it is difficult to do on your own you can speak to a counsellor or psychiatrist because the depression needs to be treated as well.
I hope this helps
