Dementia shares almost every symptom of depression ... this is concerning

Doctors know so much they keep changing everything they talk about.

Am I supposed to just tell my regular doctor that I think I have memory problems??? My last relationship was so abusive that even a lot of what I went through then I totally blocked it out of my brain, and now I have a hard time even remember conversations with my family.

I can’t remember any names of a person, place or things. But I remember situations. Names are very tough for me to remember.

Thank you putting this video up. I watched it because I was having problems remembering the name of a family member that I know I should know. That along with a few other times I have forgotten things lately. But as you pointed out in this video it is just forgetfulness for me since I know about it.

[rashakhadar]

My girlfriend has pcos and I noticed that she forgets stuff and I noticed this about 3 years ago. And she repeats the same question sometimes. But what I'm really worry about is that when we go out like always and we drink, and we have sex!
If I ask her that like 4, 5 months later. She won't remember. Everything or part of it!
N that concerns me.

Im really concerned because i will just be 16 next year yet i tend to forget things really often (the basic things like name of things 'that thing u use for hair' 'yeah that one' was what i say) ... I forget something that I did, like thinking that my wallet was missing and put a fuss over it a few moments later i grab a bag randomly and then i see it there not even remembering putting it there... I forget certain incidents more often but it does not affect my daily life... And this is really troubling me please help me on this one... Is this dementia?
