Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
The problem with memory and intactly to accept the facts in its original form can be indicative of dementia onset. The other possibility is depression as memory gaps also present in early onset depression.
In my opinion it will be better to seek help of psychiatrist without delay as early diagnosis helps in improving prognosis.
Hope I have answered your query.
