A member asked:
What are possible causes of a lifelong tendency to misplace or permanently lose things? (adhd diagnosis ruled out via neurocognitive testing)
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Many causes: There are numerous possible causes for chronic problems with what is considered to be working memory deficits. These can include psychiatric illnesses other than ADHD such as anxiety and depressive disorders. A long history of poor organizational skills can also come from a learned behavior that you need to correct by actively working in your organizational skills.
