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.
help please. im a 23 year old with short term memory loss. not like I forget where I left my keyz.. more like i cant remember things me and my boyfriend do or the last movie I watched and I just watched it a few days before. any idea what it could be?
I went through your details.I suggest you not to worry much. The symptom you are mentioning does not point to short term memory loss. It could just be selective forgeting. Your brain hs the capacity to forget something which you do not want to remember. The same thing happens in the case of undue anxiety and restlessness. The case of forgetting keys is one example and the other one what you are experiencing now. Therefore, unnecessary worries may trigger selective forgetting.
You can post a direct query to me in case you further need my services in this case. Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications. Good luck.
