A member asked:
Why might someone keep forgetting things?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Many things: People forget things because of being emotionally overwhelmed by environmental stressors, and also because of unconsciously not wanting to remember things that are painful. People with hyperactivity disorders forget constantly because of inability to concentrate effectively. And then there are those with cognitive deficits such as delirium or dementia (such as Alzheimers Disease) that cause it.
