R&R: Rest and relaxation surprisingly have been found to help with cognition and memory. Namely, both physical and brain exercise help. Dancing helps keep our brains fit as do puzzles and word games. Meditation or hypnosis can help enhance focus and concentration. Ms unfortunately impacts on different parts of the brain for each person. Consult with a psychologist to design personalized activities.

See specialist: Generically, need to find out precise cause of such issues, and treat the underlying problem. Could involve thyroid, vitamin deficiency or other issues. If due to chronic disorder, such as MS, have found some benefit with alerting agents such as ritalin or modafanil, and rarely, assistance with galantamine (galantamine hydrobromide). Sometimes, speech therapy or cognitive/behavioural interventions of some benefit.
