So what causes memory loss in your people anyway? The reason I’m asking this is because lately I been having trouble remembering things. I’m in my mid 20 and already I can’t remember things. I couldn’t remember new people that are just introduced for like 10 second ago and I keep forgetting where I put my stuff. So is this sign of alzheimer’s or what? What are the possible causes for this my memory loss?

So these are the possible cause of memory loss in young people:

Head Trauma

A traumatic brain injury can make young people to have memory loss. Many head trauma patient is having trouble remembering what cause the brain injury in the first place.

I never got any injury to the head, so I don’t think mine is caused by head trauma.

Alzheimer

Alzheimer disease is a disease that slowly develops in the brain which would eat the memory away and eventually causing the person unable to do well in planning, language and reasoning.

This is an age related disease so it only happen to people with age 70 or more, I don’t think this would happen to me yet…

Hypoglycemic

This is a disease that happen when you have low blood sugar level. Where one of the symptoms for Hypoglycemic is memory loss.

I think I have normal blood sugar level, I would rule this one out.

Psychogenic

When someone is having stress, depression or schizophrenia could lead to memory loss. This is the most possible cause for young people to have memory loss.

This is one possibilites for my case as I am having depression one year ago. Still, I don’t think this is the cause as I been having memory loss before the depression.

Drugs

Certain drugs can lead to memory loss, recreational drugs like cocaine can make people to develop some short memory loss.

Obviously, I don’t do drugs, so this is out. Winner don’t do drugs guys, that’s why Captain America is not a winner because he use steroids to fight bad guys.

Nutritional deficiency.

Not enough thiamine (vitamin B1), and vitamin B12  can contribute to memory loss. People with vitamin B1 deficiency can cause permanent short or long term memory loss.

Shit, this could be the cause of my memory loss. I better start stacking up vitamin B1.
