Memory loss

Memory loss is when you forget things, like your name, where you live, or things from your past. It's like your brain isn't able to remember things like it used to. Sometimes memory loss can be caused by stress, an illness, or from taking certain medications. It can also happen naturally as we get older. Memory loss isn't always bad, it just means we might have trouble remembering things until we practice and get better at it.
