I cant offer much advice due to not knowing your general background i.E age but I will do my best. I had never heard of memory loss being stress related untill I saw you post and so decided to check it out. This is a link you might find useful http://www.Fi.Edu/brain/stress.Htm#stressm emory

i dont really know much about alzheimer's so I cant really comment on that. The only advice I can give is if you are really worried then go and see your doctor.

Finally some memory improvement techniques: practice these regularly and your memory performance will increase dramatically.

Use association when trying to memorize objects. For instance group the difficult to remember task or object with somthing which you dont need to remember, like places in your home or a very farmiliar route. Imagiane them at memorable points and when you think of the easy to remember area you will remember the object placed there.

I dont have the time to write out a full list so use this link http://www.Mindtools.Com/memory.Html

hope this helps

The early symptoms of alzheimer's disease include forgetfulness, loss of concentration,etc.

Many people expect increasing memory loss as they age, but impaired memory has more to do with stress, according to a mcgill research project.

Phosphatidylserine plays a role in neurotransmission, may support brain function and boost memory and is therefore important in this memory supplement. The acetyl group that is part of acetyl-l-carnitine contributes to the production of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine, which is required for healthy cognitive function and promotes enhanced memory and cell to cell communication. Huperzine a also helps maintain acetylcholine levels. Ginkgo biloba is included in this memory supplement and is used to enhance peripheral circulation to the brain and is thought to work with siberian ginseng to support good general well-being.

Please note that this is not to be taken as medical advice. If you are seeking treatment, please contact your healthcare professional.

Hi ! I would suggest you try some herbs like Brahmi and Vacha (Bacopa and Acorus calamus). These herbs have unique memory boosting power without causing side effects. The herbs are indian herb and widely used by Ayurveda phycisians worldwide. You can search for herbal remedies for memory or alzheimer's disease on google for more details.
I hope this will help you a lot !

Like you I am also having difficulties in remembering thing, people etc...
Until recently I realized that it is caused by stress related I heard over the radio yesterday that there is studies that proved it may caused Alzheimer and dementia althought it only only 10-15% of such cases occured.

Memory loss is common in Alzheimer's disease. Some patients even have hallucinations along withe memory loss. You can find lot of information here : http://www.alzheimersmemoryloss.info

It could definitely be stress.

If it doesn't get better with time then I'd try some Chinese meds.

like those 3:

Cure Memory Loss With Ginkgo Biloba

Hi Paul,

You might want to do a google search on new ways they diagnose alzheimer's. I heard there might be a new method where they take a sample of your blood and thru your analysis they can determine some risk factors.

I do think it could be stress related, however, since when I am stressed I forget certain things (and I am young).

Also, have you been given mmse test? (Mini-mental status examination)

Hope that helps..
