I have really poor memory retention , please help me?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Poor Memory.: Poor memory retention might be due to anxiety or depression, or there could be some kind of physical problem going on. Check with your family doctor first to make sure that there's no physical or medical problem, then have your doctor refer you to a psychiatrist or other medical professional. You also might want to see a psychologist after that. Good luck.
