Neurologist,  's  Response
Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.

You would need to consult a psychologist for a detailed memory and neuropsychological testing.

In addition, a consultation with a neurologist or psychiatrist would be required to confirm the diagnosis and make a detailed treatment plan.

I hope it helps. Please get back if you require any additional information.

Wishing you good health,
