A member asked:
My 48 yr old best friend has recently lost her long term memory of the last 35 years. what could be the cause? doctors told her to see a psycologist.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Needs an Internist: Did she get evaluated with clinical exam by internist/neurologist , including imaging of the brain with ct scan/ MRI brain etc. Was a stroke ruled out. Memory is a higher function of brain.If already she saw her pcp, then she needs to see a neurologist before she goes to phycologist as their help may be lesser than a psychiatrist if she has pseudodementia from severe depression.More history neede.
