Conversation: The conversation between human and AI assistant.
[|Human|] I can t remember a lot. My short and long term memory seem to be hosed. I can meet someone and have a converation with them, then two months later I see them and introduce myself tothem as if I have never met them. I can t recall very many things from my childhood. The events that I can remember I can count on 1 hand. I have problems remembering my children when they were small, events that I should remember because they had an impact on me. My family and friends tell me about things that happened in the past, but I have no recollection of the events at all. When I think I remember something, I question whether it is a memory or am I reecalling a story my family has told me. I take a lot of photos, but when I look at them months later I don t remember most of them and who some of the people in the photos are - even though I dined with them and had conversations with them. It s like looking at someone else s photos. I go to the movies and several months later ask mu husband to take me to see that movie. When he tells me that we saw it last month at the movie theatre, I have to have him describe parts of the movie before I can remember seeing it. And even then I don t remember all of the movie, only parts of it.. It s not like I am forgetting where I put my keys or park my car. It s more about my memories beyond 24 hours. They just seem to leave me quickly.
[|AI|]  Hi, Thank you for posting your query. I have noted your symptoms and agree that you need detailed evaluation.First, a neuropsychological testing would help us confirm the amount of memory impairment. Especially, whether it is short-term or long term or both. Also, they would test visual and verbal memory. Then, you would need to see a neurologist and undergo tests such as brain scan, vitamin B12 level and thyroid profile, to determine the cause of memory loss. I am sure you would get better with proper treatment. 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, Chat Doctor. Ly/
