I’m 33 years old and I experience a bad memory for #’s and names. I frankly think it is worse than other people’s memories. Sometimes I imagine I am missing quite a bit because of memory loss, but I don’t recognize what I’m missing because I can’t remember. Does anyone have any idea what could be causing this?
Our Founder and Executive Director, Linda Fodrini-Johnson, MA, MFT, CMC, suggests that you contact your nearest University Hospital to see if they have a Memory Clinic that would be available to help you assess your memory and locate any issue you may be experiencing. She states that many other changes in body functioning can contribute to memory loss such as endocrine disorders or simple infections.
I hope that this information has been helpful to you.
We appreciate your readership and contribution to our blog.
Thank you!
