Hi,

Thank you for posting your query.

The most important reason for forgetfulness at this young age is lack of concentration. If you concentrate well, then, your memory would improve.

In addition, we need to exclude vitamin B12 deficiency and thyroid hormone deficiency, which are also important causes of forgetfulness.

I hope my answer helps. Please get back if you have any follow up queries or if you require any additional information.

Wishing you good health,
