Hello!

Thank you for asking on HCM!

I carefully read your question and would explain that his symptoms seem to be related to depression.

Depression can cause a slow thinking and memory troubles because of lack of concentration.

Coming to this point, I would recommend consulting with a psychiatrist for a careful evaluation of his psychological situation.

A brain CT scan would help exclude other possible intracranial causes that may lead to this symptomatology.

He may need to start an antidepressant to recover from this situation.

Hope you will find this answer helpful!

Best wishes, Dr. Aida
