A member asked:
34-years old with a terrible memory and have severe tip of the tongue issues on things i should know. could this be serious?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes, but probably no: Most perceived problems of memory in young people are really problems of attention. You can't expect to retrieve something from memory that wasn't properly placed there. Certain medications can interfere with attention, memory and cause word-finding difficulties. There are 10-minute office-based tests that could tell if there is a concern. Talk to your doctor.
