I cant find my keyes or where i park my car...im always loosing clothes even if i think i put them away. so my question is....does this memory loss have to do with my ADHD or as i get older am i loosing memory?

Only a Dr can tell you for sure.

Well i do have short term memory.Sometime's i even forget about something important.Maybe it isnt ADHD it could be the cause of you doing something that distract's u from what u had in mind to remember.Ask a doctor about ur concern's he/she might know the answer's to your problem's.in that case good luck!

Wow, sometimes I feel like I have short term memory loss. I think it has to do with stress. BUT I would ask your doctor anyway to see if you can treat it.

Well, it's probably nothing to worry about and could have it's origen in your ADHD or even be related to stress. But why not get it checked out with your doctor?

ADHD doesn't cause memory loss. Are you stressed out? If not, check with your psychologist to find out what's going on.

I was gonna answer your question, but I couldn't remember what the fu_k I was going to say. You're looking for an answer that you're not likely to get here on "Moron Central". At least not a legit answer. My advice is to NOT take the advice you receive here. Unless the advice is to speak to your trusted physician. Or mine. Lemme know if you want his number.

not sure what is causing it. The important thing is to remain functional and happy if you can manage that. Maybe make a set place to keep your keys and your car and your clothes.

Just cut out all that crap food you've been eating recently and eat some proper food. And lay of the beers.
