A member asked:
My memory loss has stayed stable or even improved over the last year. i'm also 22. is this indicative of a degenerative disease?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
By definition it is : not progressive if it has remained stable or improved over the past year. If your primary care or neurologist has not determined the cause & you have no history of tumor, trauma or infection that affected your brain, a neuropsychological evaluation will define the type(s) of memory loss & any associated neuro-cognitive impairments & recommend therapy options & mnemonic, or memory, aids.
