Hello,

Consult a neurologist / psychiatrist first. For testing and then you can visit psychologist for proper guidance about how to take care. Thanks

Memory loss can be caused by a multitude of things. The most common causes of memory loss include medications, psychological disorders, dementia, nutritional deficiency, and head injuries. This condition can affect both short-term and long-term memory.

Stress, anxiety or depression too can cause forgetfulness, confusion, difficulty concentrating and other problems that disrupt daily activities.

However, the cause of dementia may be depression, which can be treated with medications, so I strongly recommend that you discuss this issue with your doctor. ... Again, there are many causes for short-term memory loss; the most common causes being stressful lifestyle, lack of sleep, anxiety, and depression.

These supplements are also linked to healthy cognitive function:
>> Ginkgo biloba – Increases circulation to the brain. Provides memory enhancing effects.
>> DHA – One of the omega-3 fatty acids essential for normal brain development and function.
>> A vision support formula – Providing antioxidants, zinc, lutein and zeaxanthin.
