Forgetting: Forgetting can be difficult to self-assess. Everyone forgets; studies have found people's estimates of memory abilities correlate poorly with their actual abilities. In a young person serious new onset memory problems are unusual. Medical evaluation for metabolic or other illness and screening to rule out depression is wise. Neuropsychological testing can tell if it really is a amemory problem.
