A lot of things can cause memory problems. Stress, Anxiety, depression, fatigue, low blood sugar, dehydration. Anything that effects the optimum function of the brain. I would bet it's stress.

I think that memory loss at a young age is a good reason to consult a doctor. If something is wrong, it's best to catch it as early as possible.
I used to forget what I was going to say, and it turned out that that was caused by anxiety and panic. I often started looking for something, and then forgot what I was looking for. I take medication for anxiety now, and don't have these problems any more.
That doesn't mean that your friend is suffering with anxiety/panic. It could be something physical, so seeing a doctor would be the best thing.

Do memory exercises with her.
Have a conversation with her, then ask her details about the conversation. Have her ask you questions.
Ask her about what happened in her day.
The brain has muscles that need to be worked.
I have the same problem, but mine is related to pain. When the pain is less I think clearer.
Check out this website on nutrition for the brain.

I've been there. I am just realizing that since I joined ToastMasters I seem to have rediscovered my mental accuity and focus. I believe that the discipline involved in writing a speech and learning to deliver it without notes is what is resulting in better memory for me.
I also find that the energy therapy called emotional freedom technique has been very helpful. It is easy to learn and to apply. It works to eliminate negative emotional blocks.
