memory problems? what health conditions cause this?

Answer 1

There's a huge variety of possibilities. Really, you should talk to a psychiatrist who is trained to diagnose conditions of both the mind and the body.

Stress can cause minor memory problems. Depression, also. But it could be a dissociative disorder such as multiple personality disorder resulting from childhood trauma. It could be a chemical imbalance, nutritional deficiencies, drug side-effects, etc. There are too many possibilities for a lay-person to guess.

If the problem is really affecting your life, describe your symptoms to your doctor. But maybe you should write them down as you notice them...you might not remember them all when you're there!
