Changes to memory
Everyone experiences occasional forgetfulness—misplacing keys, forgetting names, or struggling to recall details. Stress, lack of sleep, and even diet can affect memory, making it harder to focus and retain information.
However, if memory changes start interfering with daily life—like forgetting important appointments, repeating questions, or struggling to follow conversations—it may be time for further evaluation. Persistent or worsening memory issues can signal an underlying health condition that deserves attention.
Being aware of these shifts allows you to take proactive steps toward better brain health. If you’re unsure, seeking professional guidance can provide clarity and support.
