Are Memory Loss And Depression In A 20-year-old Related To Concussion?
Hey! I’m a 20 year old male. For the past few years I’ve been experiencing some memory loss that seems a bit more than normal and I wanted to get a second opinion on it. I lose my train of thought when talking to people very often. I often forget things if I don’t try really hard to remember them. I also suffer from mild depression which may be unrelated. I feel that it’s important to note the at age 17 I suffered from a pretty bad concussion. I guess I wanted to know if this is a normal side effect of having a concussion? Is there anything I can do? Should I see a real doctor? Could it be unrelated to the concussion? Am I overthinking this? Thanks

Hello,
Though there may not be any relation between the concussion and present problems, it will be always better if you get yourself consulted by a neurologist.
Your doubt will be cleared once for all and the memory loss and other problems will stop troubling you.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr K. V. Anand, Psychologist
