A member asked:

Can anxiety cause short term memory probs? like where you put your keys, phone, ect? worried about brain tumor! memory problems = brain tumor?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Anxiety and memory: The simple answer is "yes". Anxiety interferes with concentration and focusing. It is very common to be a bit scattered when experiencing anxiety. Memory problems do not suggest you have a brain tumor. So, relax about your memory lapses.
