Memory loss
Actually, I have problem in remembering things. I tend to forget things from last few weeks. It is happening constantly in my life and is making my life really difficult. I am student as well as a writer. As a writer, I must remember things which are important to my story but, I am not able to do that. I don't know why I am forgetting things?
Hi.
Forgetfulness can be because of multiple reasons. Stress, Anxiety and depression can be one of the many causes of memory impairment.
At your age any organic cause of memory loss is very unlikely.
Preoccupied thoughts of anything, can cause impairment in concentration and memory.
Any substance use like alcohol and tobacco can cause impairment in concentration and memory when used on long term and excessively.
It's better to get evaluated with a psychiatrist and use the given advice for your benefit.
Regards.
