What is memory loss?

Although the disease of forgetfulness among the people seems to be seen only in the elderly, this is not a correct one. People of all ages may have forgetfulness due to different reasons. Young people are also likely to suffer from forgetfulness. In some cases, forgetfulness may seem normal and may be linked to daily causes, but as a result of vitamin deficiencies or hormone deficiencies, forgetfulness disease occurs. In addition, Alzheimer's and dementia, which are among the neuropsychiatric diseases, may occur in later years. Among the most common symptoms of these diseases are forgetfulness and severe depression. It is very difficult for dementia and alzheimer's patients to survive. Therefore, the people around them and their families need to take care to make their lives easier. In order to understand the forgetfulness, it is necessary to understand the concept of memory. Human memory is divided into short-term memory and long-term memory. Maximum 6 to 9 information is processed in short-term memory. This information stays here very briefly and is forgotten if it is not memorized for long periods by any coding. If the information in short-term memory cannot be memorized with long-term coding and repetition, this indicates the disease of forgetfulness. In addition, if it is not possible to bring back the information stored in long-term memory, this indicates the disease of forgetfulness. Forgetfulness arises due to both memory problems.
