Hello,
Your symptoms- short-term memory difficulties, absent-mindedness, feeling “blank” on waking, and trouble with concentration- are very common after periods of prolonged stress, emotional strain, or unresolved anxiety/depression.
This type of cognitive fog is usually functional, meaning it happens due to emotional overload rather than a disease of the brain. The good news is that it is treatable with proper evaluation and support. Herbal medicines alone usually do not address the underlying psychological factors.
Next Steps
1. Reach out for an online or in-person consultation:
📞 NEURONAL FIX CLINIC, RAMPRASTHA COLONY, Ghaziabad, (near Shreshtha Vihar, Delhi)- +91- 74XX52XX97XX67XX61
Conditions like anxiety disorders, depression, burnout, trauma-related stress, and even sleep disturbances can present with memory issues.
2. Get routine screening tests, especially if symptoms are persistent:
1)
Thyroid profile
2)
Vitamin B12 &
Vitamin D
3) CBC
Fasting blood sugar
These deficiencies can worsen cognitive difficulties.
3. Begin structured treatment, which may include:
a. Therapy (CBT, stress-management therapy, trauma-focused therapy if needed)
b. Medication if anxiety or depression is significant
c. Sleep regulation plan
4. If symptoms suddenly worsen, or if you experience confusion, changes in behavior, severe headaches, or disorientation, seek an in-person evaluation promptly.
