Hi, Thanks for writing in, welcome to the forum. Forgetting may happen due to a number of causes, some of which are completely reversible and some partially so. The latter will benefit from early intervention. First, we need to assess the extent of forgetfulness in detail and see over what period of time this has developed. We also need to see if any other brain functions are affected or not. Then we proceed towards looking for a cause. Baseline tests like hemogram, RFT, LFT, RBS, thyroid profile, Vitamin B 12, folate are necessary. Based on these reports, pointers towards neurological, psychiatric or psychological causes can be identified. If needed only then additional tests can be carried out. Overall, considering that you are only 41, possibility of more severe diseases seems less likely, In any case get in touch with a professional for a proper evaluation and management. Take care!
