Doctor I have been suffering from thyroid for the past 12 years. I take regular medicines and take care of my lifestyle as well. For the past few months, I have been facing a major issue and I don?t know if it is due to thyroid or not. I am forgetting things too often. In fact I forget names of people and this is really unusual in my case. Doctor please tell me if thyroid affects memory?

Yes, if thyroid hormone is low, you will face difficulty in concentrating and your memory span will get affected. Thyroid hormone regulates every organ of the body and brain is not an exception. Few signs that show your brain is affected include - forgetting where you left your spects, difficulty in remembering names, memory issues and poor concentration level.
