Hi,I am Dr. Alexander H. Sheppe (Psychiatrist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I KNOW A PERSON WHO HAS JUST STARTED WITH FORGETTING THINGS, SUCH AS SOMETHING WHICH WAS SAID OR DONE THAT DAY AND SHE DOES NOT REMEMBER UNTIL IT IS POINTED OUT TO HER. IS THERE AN UNDERLYING MEDICAL PROBLEM THAT SHOULD BE CHECKED ON FOR THESE EVENTS.
Hi, thanks for the query. Memory problems in a person need certain details like age of person, nature of onset of problem(rapid Vs. Gradual), areas of life affected (like difficulty driving, wearing cloths, difficulty in household work etc.); whether person himself/herself is aware of the problems or whether his/her relatives are complaining & the concerned person is unaware or trying to hide his/her problems etc. Hence kindly provide more information. Lastly memory problems are seen in host of conditions ranging from old age related memory difficulties, dementia to as a symptom of depression. Hope this helps. Good Luck
