Frequently forgetting things

2019-04-06 16:41:12
Lately I have realised and felt I am forgetting things very often and sometimes becomes very dangerous like i keep something on gas and then completely forget and happened very frequently. Then even at work i am find tough to remember things. So basically struggling a lot. Also, facing sleep deprivation or may be insomnia. I hardly sleep for 4-5hrs daily or even less than that. Please help or suggest who should I visit a psychiatrist or neurologist?

It is advised that one must sleep between 6-8 hours per day. Forgetfulness is a concern for most people which could arise due to stress or emotional burn out. However, a thorough diagnosis is required to evaluate and treat the situation. I would recommend you to visit a psychiatrist to work with the same.
