If you,your family or friends have concerns about your memory, it definitely warrants an evaluation by a neurologist, psychologist or psychiatrist to check for cognitive loss. Appropriate testing will be performed.

This could be secondary to congenital or developmental problems, even a learning disorder, but also medication reactions, lack of sleep, depression, etc. Evaluation by a speech therapist is a good starting point, but a neuropsychological test may also help.
