Memory Problems :
Memory problems such as memory loss, difficulty recalling incidents or names, mere forgetfulness are common symptoms of underlying neurological conditions. They can manifest as temporary/acute conditions such as amnesia or permanent/degenerative brain disease such as Alzheimer, multiple sclerosis or brain tumors. Acute memory loss can be caused due to traumatic brain injury, mood disorders, handling traumatic emotional experience, aneurysms/internal brain bleeding, seizures or infections. These conditions require immediate medical attention. Progressive memory loss can be age related and requires timely evaluation with proper management as recommended by the qualified neurologist. A neurologist can also contribute to the treatment by their services. It is highly important to follow preventive measures such as wearing helmets, maintaining healthy weight, managing stress with coping mechanisms, timely evaluations of any infections and maintenance of underlying secondary medical conditions like diabetes or hypertension.
