Suggest Treatment For Short Term Memory Loss And Black Outs For 18 Year Old

Hi, li am an 18 year old female that has been recently experiencing short term memory loss problems. This has been ongoing for the last 6 months and has been getting worse. I forget where I leave things find it hard to concentrate on certain things and constantly lose things. I am also in college at the moment and binge drink on nights out where I often completely blackout and remember nothing the next morning. I was wondering if this problem is alcohol related and can it be reversed or treated

Neurologist 's  Response
Dear I am sorry for the symptoms she is experiencing!
Anyway I would recommend to contact your neurologist and undertake a brain MR.
Memory loss can have a lot of causes and many of them are fully treatable but first of all we need to diagnose and brain MR can help much to the diagnose.
Wish you all the best, hope my answer will help you.
Best regards
