A member asked:
Why is my memory not as good as before especially remembering names? anything i can do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Memory: Sometimes considered a part of normal aging, difficulty with names can be a precursor to full blown anomic aphasia, a type of dementia in the alzheimer's category. I do not mean to frighten you, but you should see a neurologist to review this problem, assess if there are reversible causes or neuroprotective actions you can take. Reducing stress is paramount.
