I am male 24 years of age and currently working for a bpo in Bangarole. I have been suffering from memory problems since I was 19 years of age. With difficulty to remember new stuff, recent events and had issue to recall recent learned facts, names, concepts ideas. People make fun of me and my friends noticed this change. My reasoning is extremely poor, very slow in thinking. These days always keep quite during a discussion and cannot think on my own and when I try to say something it sounds boring not make any sense. I often stop in the middle of conversation and can only think few words and cannot join ideas. Very difficult time to finish easy tasks and make decisions. one year back I visited Apollo hospital in orissa was advised to take depression medicines but it didn t work. I was reviewing information on websites about mild cognitive impairment symptoms and may be I fall under this category. I am unable prepare for higher studies, rejected in job interviews and feeling very hopeless in my life when I see my friends who are doing well. My social life is almost screwed up. so I want to consult with you or a doctor you may refer me. Please advise me how should I go about this? Thank you for your time and patience for understanding my problem. Your response is highly awaited and thank you in advance for replying.
Hello dear Memory impairment in such a young age needs to be evaluated properly. You must undergo a screening brain MRI. Blood investigations include it B 12 and folic acid levels, Thyroid profile, serum urea, creatinine, blood sugar levels. You should also consult a neurologist for proper examination and evaluation. You may visit a psychiatrist to evaluate for depression. Hope you recover early God bless you
