Suggest Remedy For Short Term Memory Loss

Hi, I ve been having this problem for the past 5+ years. I ll have these random spurts of (what I call) amnesia. I ll be doing something or talking to someone and my mind goes completely blank. My body will still go through the motions and continue what I was doing, but my mind just stops. I won t recognize anyone around me. Or remember who they are. I can remember who I am, how old I am. It doesn t happen often, but it freaks me out when it does. Can you help me determine what it is I have?

Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. The description you gave is not enough for a proper diagnosis. But such things do happen with everyone. Cannot be termed amnesia without proper evaluation. Busy people do have momentary "shut down" of the system. You must understand, human brain is a power full computer and it do need to have some breaks. When information overload happen, it sulks. That is the way to think about your episodes. Please consult a neurologist if need be.

If you require more of my help in this aspect, Please post a direct question to me in this URL. http://goo.gl/aYW2pR. Make sure that you include every minute details possible. I shall prescribe the needed psychotherapy techniques.

Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications.
Good luck.
