my mother is around 36yrs and i think she developed this problem of short time memory loss. she tells me to do a work and after a few minutes, she starts scolding me for doing it. she claims that she didn't tell me to do it now but she told it yesterday. she doesn't realise her mistake. how can i tell her what she is doing? when i try to tell it, she says that i'm making excuses for not studying at home. please help me out.....

There could be a few various reasons why this is happening. At the worst end of the spectrum is called early altzheimers disease. If this is the case (Most likely not because it's usually only found when people are in their early to mid 50's) it needs to be brought to the attention of her doctor. at the low end of the spectrum is short term memory loss which is brought on by many different things with the most common being stress, a lack of sleep, anxiety, or depression. Either way you need to bring this to her attention. If you have an audio recorder, you could try using it to remind her of things she said but, the best thing is to write down the instructions she gives you and the date it was given. Documentation always helps. There are a number of things she can take to help but, she should see a doctor to help determine what is the best solution.

Get a white board or a piece of white paper and write down what she told you together with the date she asked you written on it. Place the white board somewhere where she can see. If it's an A4 paper, use a fridge magnet and stick it to the fridge. Strike the item off after it is done. No excuses for your mum or yourself, either...

Your mother may be having neurological problems and may need to seek medical help immediately! The sooner the better! If you have an adult you can talk to about this issue, please do and have them consult with your mom!! I realize being the daughter this may not be an easy task for you; however, feel the fear and do it anyway!! This may be a serious health issue and should not be avoided!! Sincerely, Liz

listen i think the best think to do is to talk to someone that really cares about your mom and discuss with him what to do. stop telling your mama that she has a problem. maybe its because of anxiety but if its somethink else she might need medical help so be serius and no panic. i hope everything go allright.

well my mom does the same thing to like all the time and it drives me crazy. Then one day i had the idea of having her write it down in her own hand writing and if she got mad id pull it out. Then sometimes shed make fun of me or asking me why and i say oh its a game or something . Then other times she wouldn't write it down so id write it down and have her just sign it.

not to worry you or something.....i wanna give you an advise as a friend.... I guess that you should better take your mum to a doctor or counsellor....might be something bad....might be somthing that everyone is fussing a lot about it. Don't panic before you get what is exactly happening with your mother. Try to show your affection towards her....
Good luck!! :)

Please take her for a Thyroid check up and it must be the reason she has that symptom. Even my mom had this some time back..Do mail me about your geographical details and I will give you the right person to meet in your area for this sort of treatment.. bye..

Do you have a voice recorder? or a video camera, Most people dont believe that they have anykind of disorder unless they see if for themselves. If she sees if for herself she will go to the doctor to check it out. could be early signs of Alzheimer's.
