Forgetfulness: We all can forget things specially when we have so much on our plate to deal with . There is certain symptoms for alzheimer's disease , and if u really wants to know see a mental health professional for evaluation. None the less i don't think u do have it .Since people with alzheimer's disease u ask them about their memory and they will tell u"great" even when it is very bad.

See a psychiatrist: Many people with memory problems do not have alzheimer's. It is a common complaint of people with depression, for example. Chronic stress can also cause memory problems. You need to be examined, don't be afraid to go.
