Forgetfulness
I tend to forget things . I can't remember color of shirts or dress I had wore a day or two back.
Also difficult to remember the names of known people and recognize their faces.
While my day to day activities do not get hampered but a lot of embracement when I forget names of people, places etc.
Hello, you seem to be having some degree of recent memory impairment. The cause for memory loss can be many. It may be because of vitamin deficiency, thyroid problems which are reversible causes for memory loss. Since your routine activities are not impaired, it's unlikely you have any major problems in the brain. Some people who are stressed might also experience some memory loss which might be a part of depression.
Next Steps
I suggest you see your physician and rule out the causes for reversible causes of memory impairment. Once all the blood tests are normal and all organic causes are ruled out, please see a psychiatrist to check for any psychological causes.
