Causes of memory lapses or Absent-mindedness
I seem to be really forgetful these days. Should I be concerned? I’m just 24 years old!
answer:
Absent-mindedness isn’t something to worry about at your age. Your forgetfulness could be caused by either having too much on your mind, too much to do or both! If you have recently changed jobs, it’s natural to have trouble with names and faces, keeping track of new work procedures and staying on top of your personal life. The only way around this is to get organised, like always placing your keys in the same spot so you won’t have to search desperately for them when it’s time to leave for work. You could also be forgetful if you’re not getting enough sleep, are on drugs or consume large amounts of alcohol. It’s also hard to focus if you are sad or depressed. Get help from your doctor who can rule out the causes of your memory lapses.
