Answer 2

If you have a degenerative disease like AD, there are some medications that slow the progression of the disorder; if you merely have problems remembering things then regardless of any supplements or medication you may take you need to maintain 'mental hygiene'.

There are some good steps on this page on chemobrain from the mayoclinic: http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/cancer-treatment/CA00044

In summary, provided you are in good health they are paraphrased below:

Exercise your body.

Give your mind a workout, do puzzles, learn a language, etc.

Keep a detailed diary of your memory problems throughout your day.

Use your daily diary to determine what influences your memory problems.

Take notes.

Start a routine

Try to keep the same schedule every day.

Talk about your problems.


Of note, you need to get adequate sleep. If you are lacking in sleep your body will not repair itself and you will be constantly fatigued, both mentally and physically.

If you use caffeine then keep at it in moderate doses so as not to interfere with your sleep. Caffeine withdrawal can negatively affect your quality of life.

Consider using a 'brain game' device like the nintendo ds and use the product on a regular basis.

Answer 3

There are a number of methods and some medications to help remembering, but many medications are recommended depending on why you have memory loss or memory problems. People with Attention Deficit Disorder, depression, schizophrenia, dementia, and Alzheimer's disease, to name several, all have memory problems and there are different recommendations for them all of them. There s also a workbook available, but I cannot remember its name, maybe you can find it through Amazon.com that helps you develop and retain memory functions. I have found that people's memory begins to decline after they eave school because they stop implementing the techniques used in school to help them remember. Improving memory depends on these "mnemonic techniques and strategies". If you don't use them and exercise them, your memory begins to have problems. Add the demands life places on your memory skills and it can "decline" or appear to decline quickly.

*****Non-medication method******
Chewing gum can improve memory, say UK psychologists. They found that people who chewed throughout tests of both long-term and short-term memory produced significantly better scores than people who did not. But gum-chewing did not boost memory-linked reaction times, used as a measure of attention.

*****Medical Method******
Ginkgo Biloba
The use of ginkgo leaf extracts can be traced back for centuries in traditional Chinese medicine. Today ginkgo biloba is perhaps the most widely used herbal treatment aimed at augmenting cognitive functions-that is, improving memory, learning, alertness, mood and so on. Ginkgo is especially popular in Europe; officials in Germany recently approved the extract for treating dementia.

Answer 5

before you go busying things you may want to check with a doctor, also take this into consideration, how old are you is this something you had all your life did it just start and other factors, you may just have allot on your mind or just not paying attention when things are said or explained
