Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I am a 24-year-old. For the last few years, I have been facing a problem of forgetting most of the things including my regular courses, even sometimes it is difficult to remember the names of my dearest relatives and friends. From my childhood, I found it difficult to interact with new people but when I became familiar with them I became their dearest one sometimes. Moreover, I am very nervous, and fearful. I feel very much pressure when I think everyone is listening or watching me. Some people laugh at me and make jokes with me, telling me that I am not mature and my walking style is funny and childish or like girls. I have some difficulty in speaking because I used to talk very fast and have some difficulty in pronunciation sometimes. I am quite good at mathematics and problem-solving too. Most of the people, who speak with me and work with me, told me that I am very much brilliant. I am in doubt if I am normal or suffering from illnesses like ADHD.
Kindly help.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
At your age, most of the memory-related problems are due to stress, or busy life schedule, or anxiety. You already mentioned about nervousness and inability to socialize. Nervousness could be a sign of general anxiety disorder (GAD). This worsens when are under stress. I suggest memory tests, ADD screening, and GAD Screening to diagnose. Then the treatment method can be finalized.
I hope this helps.
