Hello
Welcome to HCM
You are a 19 years old female with family history of Alzheimer's disease. You have complaints of memory problems and this is causing severe stress in you. You are a known case of bipolar disorder and PTSD. Most likely the memory problems are not related to Alzheimer's disease. You already have BPD so such symptoms may occur due to depression and anxiety. Such symptoms are also called pseudo dementia. I would advise you to consult a psychiatrist for expert opinion.
Hope this helps you, thanks
