I'm still young and have a very, very poor memory, anyone have ideas on how to improve?

Question

For the last few years of my life my memory has rapidly decayed and I find myself unable to remember the most simple of things, such as why I walk up a hall or to turn off the faucet. Does anyone have any ideas on vitamins or methods that improve short term memory (and long term memory, if possible)?

Answer 1

Ginko Biloba!

Answer 2

Ginkgo Biloba is supposed to be good for this. I use Albi's Ginkgo Biloba Phyto Gp-24. It's a better brand than the other I was taking. It's sold at health food stores.
Believe me I've done the "enter a room and wonder why I was there" bit. Quite annoying, eh? I understand completely. I do everything I can to keep my mind active, crossword puzzles, cryptograms, read. I wish there was more I could tell you.

Answer 3

Try playing Brain Age or Big Brain Accademy. Those to are for the ds. You just do a bunch of mind things a few minutes a day. But dont forget to practice.

Answer 4

You should see a pyschiatrist and ask about it. My sister would often forget her name or what she was doing a lot. She hasn't exactly told me how and I didn't bother to ask but ever since she began visiting the psychiatrist her memory has improved dramatically. Pills, probably. She was 17 when this started happening.
