Reduced cognitive ability
I am 22 now. I was very bright as a child but from the age of 16, I noticed that my memory and comprehension ability started declining. I cannot recall things, cannot think properly, cannot concentrate, procrastinate a lot, get tired easily. I am becoming dumber by the day. It is seriously affecting my professional and personal life. I am also extremely depressed by this change in me. Is this due to brain fog? Is it caused due to hormonal imbalance? How can I get rid of it?

Sorry to hear about what you have been experiencing. While it is difficult to speculate what it might be that is causing the issue we can start by eliminating any thyroid issues or a Vit B12 deficiency. So please get your thyroid profile and Vit B12 levels done. Please also start exercising and meditating on a more regular basis- if it persists visit a therapist / psychiatrist for a more detailed evaluation.
