Question: Dear Sir, I have difficulty in getting familiar names and some common/right words while speaking in english, where as its picture is memorizing immediately. this has been effecting for the past 7 years. I can remember phone numbers easily.

Because of this i feel nervous while giving demos. totally afraid to give demo(severe anxierty). Severely impacted my job. i had an head injury in 1988. In recent ctscan it was mentioned that minimal hypo density noted left frontal lobe anteriority. i have attached the ct scan report as attachment.

Since i am 18 years old, if i read any text book, before finishing the first page, i used to get sleep. I might have read the first page for 500 times.

I have a job interview in couple of days. Please suggest, what should i do.
